Quantum states are notoriously fragile, and can be destroyed simply through interactions, measurements, and exposure to their ...

Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a new approach to applying thermodynamics to microscopic quantum systems. In 1798, the officer and physicist Benjamin Thompson (a.k.a. Count ...

A research team has identified environmental interactions as the cause of ultrafast electronic decoherence in solids, a long-standing open question in quantum physics.
