A new study published in Nature Communications has shown that in the asymptotic limit, extracting the maximum possible work from many copies of a quantum system does not require knowing exactly what ...

For years, physicists have treated knowledge as a kind of fuel in the quantum world, the more precisely you know a system; the more work you can squeeze out of it. However, this well-regarded ...

Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a new approach to applying thermodynamics to microscopic quantum systems. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. In ...

We say a message is incoherent when we can't make it out, or when it doesn't make sense. A scribbled note, a drunken argument or a conversation taking place five tables down in a crowded cafe might ...

New research from University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) Asst. Prof. Tian Zhong could make it possible for quantum computers to connect at distances up to 2,000 ...
