Quantum fluctuations produce no entropy, so if you can count those fluctuations as clock “ticks”, you can make a clock with no entropy and nonzero precision. Or can you? New research hints at why there is (still) no free lunch, even in the #quantum world. ⚛️🧪 physicsworld.com/a/researcher...
Researchers pin down the true cost of precision in quantum clocks – Physics World
Trade-off between precision and entropy production lies in measurement process

"40h pro Woche arbeiten. Das ist doch weniger als ein Viertel! Da geht doch mehr!"
Man hört das Argument von Wirtschaftstreibenden, jetzt auch vom deutschen Kanzler. Das Missverständnis dahinter: Viel arbeiten ist in erster Linie ein Privileg - das für viele einfach außer Reichweite liegt (Thread)

What started as informal discussions on the Danube beach in Vienna during QTD2023 has been published at last. Trying to come up with an experimentally feasible quantum clock we came across a rich model – the ring clock – that overturned a common wisdom in the community. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Entropic costs of the quantum-to-classical transition in a microscopic clock
We experimentally realize a quantum clock by using a charge sensor to count charges tunneling through a double quantum dot (DQD). Individual tunneling events are used as the clock's ticks. We quantify...

Now that our recent work on the emergence of a 2nd law of thermodynamics in isolated quantum systems has been published, I thought it may be a good opportunity to share some animations outlining the intuition for the principle behind it.

New preprint! Here QuITters Pharnam and Fabien look at optimal quantum thermodynamic resource costs for state transformation processes such as ground state cooling: arxiv.org/abs/2412.07291
Optimal unitary trajectories under commuting target and cost observables; applications to cooling
The preparation of quantum states, especially cooling, is a fundamental technology for nanoscale devices. The past decade has seen important results related to both the limits of state transformation ...
