An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

In the realm of quantum information distribution, sending a signal from point A to point B is like a baseball pitcher ...

The second law of thermodynamics, a cornerstone of modern physics, states that entropy—a measure of disorder—never spontaneously decreases. It governs everything from the efficiency of engines to the ...

Today, it might be turning your computer off and on again. Quantum mechanics — the most successful and important theory in modern physics — is like that. It works wonderfully, explaining ...

The quantum revolution is advancing technology, and new experimental equipment from the University of Barcelona helps ...

But according to quantum theory, entropy should actually stay the same. Scientists took a closer look and resolved this apparent ... Jan. 28, 2025 — Researchers were able to demonstrate for the ...

Unlock the secrets of the universe with quantum experiments. Discover the breakthrough in quantum physics that may shape our ...

Quantum dots are widely used for their ability to emit single photons at specific wavelengths. These photons are created by electronic transitions in quantum dots and are ideal for encoding and ...

A theory called orchestrated objective reduction (Orch-OR), developed by renowned physicist Roger Penrose and anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff, suggests that quantum interactions inside ...

In simpler terms, the second law of thermodynamics means that things naturally tend to become more disordered over time.

This is what is known as “quantum nonlocality,” where objects are influenced across distances (seeming beyond the speed of light) whereas classical physics follows local theory, the idea that ...
