This group of physicists claims to be able to harvest usable energy from ambient heat.
In physics, this a big no-no, one of the biggest imaginable.

It's certainly nice to see a spotlight on all of these things enabling new science across the community!

I especially like the concept of using "cold atom experiments as analog #quantum #computers" to study the #vortices which occur in ultra-cold #gases below the Fermi temperature.
Sounds a little like trying to model the earth's atmosphere when thermodynamic properties are goosed by #climatechange

Photons in an optical chip challenge the reversible nature of quantum mechanics and the irreversible nature of thermodynamics. Can information be both reversed and preserved?

I'll start a ñew line of toots about modern thermodynamics, something that it's usually not mentioned. Most , thermodynamics teachers only teach that because someone has to do it. I'll try to change that paradigm

This video is one of the best explanation about entropy I have ever seen!
If you have no time to watch it all, I recommend to watch at least from 11:34 where he explains the energy flows between hot and cold in a combinatorial way.
“Heat flowing from cold to hot is not impossible, it’s just improbable”

Happy birthday to #physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879)! He dreamt up his demon to deal with the very odd 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (which is not a law like others, and can not be derived from first priciples).

Though there's nothing quantum in it (yet), I've learnt a great deal from my coauthors while working on it. I think it may be also "fun" to read. Here it is:
