Physics team discovers quantum Mpemba effect with many ‘cool’ implications
Genuine quantum Mpemba effects in multi-qubit systems appear on different timescales. Credit: Physical Review Letters (2024). DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.133.140404 Initially conducting their investigation out of pure curiosity, the researchers made discoveries that bridged the gap between Aristotle’s observations 2,000 years ago and modern understanding, while simultaneously making a difference between various “cool” and “cool” It opened the door to new meanings.…
