Physicists have developed a new method to detect quantum entanglement by measuring anomalous heat flow, which can serve as a non-destructive thermometer for quantumness, leveraging the unique properties of quantum mechanics to potentially improve quantum computing and explore gravity's quantum nature.
Researchers have demonstrated that quantum effects can cause heat to flow from cold to hot, contrary to classical thermodynamics, and this phenomenon can be used as a diagnostic tool to detect quantum properties like superposition and entanglement without destroying them, revealing deep connections between thermodynamics and information theory.
Researchers have experimentally extended Landauer's principle to quantum many-body systems using ultracold atoms and quantum field simulations, providing new insights into the relationship between information erasure and heat dissipation in quantum regimes.
Researchers have developed a framework linking quantum thermodynamics and non-Markovian dynamics, showing that memory effects can enhance work extraction from quantum processes, with potential applications in quantum technologies like batteries and computation.
