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 ...

Discover how reading a quantum clock can surprisingly cost more energy than keeping it ticking, impacting timekeeping and ...

A study led by the University of Oxford has identified a surprising source of entropy in quantum timekeeping - the act of measurement itself. In a study published today (14 Nov) in Physical Review ...

The dream of creating game-changing quantum computers—supermachines that encode information in single atoms rather than ...

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 ...
