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 ...

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

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 ...

Researchers have successfully simulated particle creation in an expanding universe using IBM's advanced quantum computers.

So welcome to Quinnie – the official mascot for the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) 2025. Unveiled at the launch of the IYQ at the headquarters of UNESCO in Paris on 4 ...

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

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 ...
