1. Introduction: The Intersection of Quantum and Thermodynamics Thermodynamics is a well-established field that deals with energy, heat, and work in macroscopic systems. On the other hand, quantum mechanics governs….
1. Introduction: Bridging Quantum Mechanics and Thermodynamics Quantum Statistical Mechanics is the branch of physics that merges quantum mechanics with statistical methods to describe systems containing a large number of….
1. Introduction: Energy and Information in Quantum Physics In classical thermodynamics, every physical operation—like lifting a weight or heating a cup of coffee—requires energy. Quantum physics extends this idea to….
1. Classical Background: Who is Maxwell’s Demon? In 1867, physicist James Clerk Maxwell proposed a thought experiment that became famous in thermodynamics and information theory. He imagined a tiny, intelligent….
In classical information theory, entropy is used to measure uncertainty or the average information content of a message. This idea is extended in the quantum world through quantum entropy measures,….
Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG) is the process of generating random numbers using the unpredictable nature of quantum mechanics. Unlike classical computers, which use algorithms to create pseudo-random numbers, QRNG….
1. What Is Information Theory? Before diving into the quantum part, let’s first understand the classical version. Information Theory, developed by Claude Shannon, is all about: In short, it answers:….
