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: What is Quantum Refrigeration? At first glance, “quantum refrigeration” might sound like a futuristic idea. But in reality, it’s a powerful and emerging concept in the field of….
1. Introduction: What Is Entropy Production? In both classical and quantum physics, entropy production is a central concept in understanding irreversibility. While classical thermodynamics defines entropy as a measure of….
Let’s start with classical physics. A heat engine is a system that extracts useful work from heat energy flowing between two sources at different temperatures. The steam engine is a….
