Physicists have designed a set of quantum control protocols that can make a monitored quantum process look as though time is flowing backward, forward at a different speed, or in no clear direction at ...

Stochastic thermodynamics and quantum systems constitute an emerging interdisciplinary field that extends classical thermodynamic concepts into realms where fluctuations and quantum effects play a ...

Physicists at the UK’s Central Laser Facility have recorded the first observation of quantum radiation reaction, detecting ...

Researchers have succeeded in measuring how energy dissipates in quantum dots by quantifying the entropy they produce. The work, by a team at Stanford University in the US, could help in the ...

In new research published in Physical Review X, scientists have designed quantum control protocols that generate processes more consistent with time flowing backward than forward. The ...
