Breakthrough Experiment at University of Twente Demonstrates Coexistence of Quantum Mechanics and Thermodynamics

(IN BRIEF) Researchers at the University of Twente have resolved a paradox between quantum mechanics and thermodynamics using an experiment with photons in an optical chip. In quantum mechanics, time can be reversed and information is always preserved, while thermodynamics … Read the full press release

Physicists Observe Quantum Effects That Limits Photons Emitted

Physicists in Garching observe novel quantum effect that limits the number of emitted photons. MUNICH, 20-Apr-2017 — /EuropaWire/ — The probability to find a certain number of photons inside a laser pulse usually corresponds to a classical distribution of independent events, … Read the full press release
