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 ...

Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a new approach to applying thermodynamics to microscopic quantum systems. In 1798, the officer and physicist Benjamin Thompson (a.k.a. Count ...

Quantum batteries harness uniquely quantum mechanical effects to store and deliver energy with potential advantages over classical devices. By exploiting quantum coherence, entanglement and engineered ...
