Scientists learned that reading a quantum clock requires orders of magnitude more energy than running it. This surprising imbalance reveals that observation itself shapes the flow and thermodynamics ...
The clock the team used to demonstrate this principle consists of a pair of quantum dots coupled by a thin tunnelling barrier ...
A study led by the University of Oxford has identified a surprising source of entropy in quantum timekeeping—the act of ...
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: ...
Entropy is the process of losing energy and this can apply to physics and social systems alike. JamesBrey/iStock via Getty Images Life is full of small decisions: Should I pick up that sock on the ...
The scientist has published a new book that charts a journey across the disciplines seeking an elusive ‘coordinate to ...
The dream of creating game-changing quantum computers—supermachines that encode information in single atoms rather than ...

Mathematician Grigori Perelman solved the Poincaré conjecture, and then rejected the $1 million prize that came with it.
