A collaboration of researchers across international borders observed an anomalous thermal effect that allows quantum systems to absorb heat from cold thermal reservoirs. The team then leveraged this ...
A study published in Physical Review Letters (PRL) details a "Gambling Carnot Engine" that researchers report can attain 100% efficiency while also improving power generation. The researchers present ...
A heat engine small enough to fit inside a superconducting circuit has converted heat into measurable work near absolute zero, offering a new test bed for quantum thermodynamics and a possible route ...
Recent improvements in our understanding of how the principles of thermodynamics apply in the quantum realm could give a boost to quantum technology, and a clearer picture of quantum thermodynamics ...
A tiny superconducting engine has successfully converted heat near absolute zero into useful work, demonstrating the first cyclic quantum heat engine of its kind. Future versions could operate ...
