The clock the team used to demonstrate this principle consists of a pair of quantum dots coupled by a thin tunnelling barrier ...

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 ...

A study led by the University of Oxford has identified a surprising source of entropy in quantum timekeeping—the act of ...

A device based on a 155-year-old thought experiment has been realised at the largest scale yet, and it may help us understand how entropy, or disorder, is produced. It could also someday be used to ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Liquids relax extremely slowly on approaching the glass state. One explanation is that an entropy crisis, because of the rarefaction of ...
