A study led by the University of Oxford has identified a surprising source of entropy in quantum timekeeping—the act of ...
A recent study has unveiled a surprising revelation about quantum timekeeping: the energy required to read a quantum clock ...
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 ...
For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons. General relativity ...
Two recent studies published in Nature and Science Advances explored quantum approaches that could improve the precision of ...
