A new study shows entanglement can be reversed—if you plug in a quantum battery. The finding rewrites the rules of the quantum world.

In the paper, author considers a new method for constructing the quasi-equilibrium thermodynamics of a system of ...

Scientists have finally uncovered a quantum counterpart to Carnot’s famed second law, showing that entanglement—once thought ...

Quantum clocks break energy limits, unlocking ultra-precise timekeeping with far-reaching tech, AI, and navigation impacts.

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

It is possible to make a material emit more radiation than it absorbs, violating the laws of physics in a way that could make ...

Vibrating optomechanical membranes offer a way to measure the thermodynamic cost of synchronising two clocks Ensuring that different clocks are giving the same time is crucial to enable electronic ...

Where a homeowner alleging his insurer failed to pay for damages caused by frozen and burst pipes intended to rely on an ...

A physicist solves an old thermodynamic puzzle and demonstrates directly from the second law that entropy disappears at absolute zero.

For now, this technical skirting of the Second Law of Thermodynamics is only theoretical. However, the authors note that this idea could be tested using modern superconducting circuits. If the ...

While trying to connect quantum thermodynamics and non-Markovian dynamics, the researchers realized that there is more than one way of extracting work from general quantum processes.

A graduate student accidentally created a blend of oil, water and nickel particles that formed an unexpected shape.
