In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights into the interplay between quantum theory and thermodynamics.

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

Technological devices are getting ever smaller, but as they approach the scale at which quantum physics matters, our understanding of how they interact with their environment evaporates. James Millen ...

(a) By keeping the temperature ratio between the hot and cold baths constant, varying the energy level spacing of the working substance allows the quantum engine to operate in different thermodynamic ...
