Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...

Blinking dots Photoluminescence image of individual quantum dots used in the experiment. Under time-dependent driving, the ...

A team of researchers from King’s College and Imperial College London have proposed a new way to calculate entropy production in active matter systems Bacteria use chemical energy, usually from ATP or ...

How can the strange properties of quantum particles be exploited to perform extremely accurate measurements? This question is at the heart of the research field of quantum metrology. One example is ...
