Even Quantum Physics Obeys the Law of Entropy
Even Quantum Physics Obeys the Law of Entropy
Is there a contradiction between quantum theory and thermodynamics? On the surface, yes - but at TU Wien, researchers have now shown how the two fit together perfectly. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets more and more disordered, when random chance is at play.

Cal­cu­lat­ing error-free more eas­ily with two codes
Cal­cu­lat­ing error-free more eas­ily with two codes
Various methods are used to correct errors in quantum computers. Not all'operations can be implemented equally well with different correction codes. Therefore, a research team from the University of Innsbruck, together with a team from RWTH Aachen and Forschungszentrum Jülich, has developed a method and implemented it experimentally for the first time, with which a quantum computer can switch back and forth between two correction codes and thus perform all computing operations protected against errors.

Physicists discover - and explain - unexpected magnetism in an atomically thin material
The work introduces a new platform for studying quantum materials. MIT physicists have created a new ultrathin, two-dimensional material with unusual magnetic properties that initially surprised the researchers before they went on to solve the complicated puzzle behind those properties' emergence. As a result, the work introduces a new platform for studying how materials behave at the most fundamental level - the world of quantum physics.

A new state between metal and insulator
A new state between metal and insulator
A kind of 'umbilical cord' between different quantum states can be found in some materials. Researchers at TU Wien have now shown that this 'umbilical cord' is generic to many materials. It is a basic principle of quantum theory: sometimes certain physical quantities can only assume very specific values; all the values in between are simply not permitted by physics.

New material for extracting CO2 from air and exhaust gases
Quantum chemical calculations by HU enable the development of new porous materials distinct by a high adsorption capacity for CO2. Climate experts agree: To tackle the climate crisis, we will not only need to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions but also directly filter the harmful gas from air and exhaust gases.

Structure of 74 exocomet belts orbiting nearby stars
An international team of astrophysicists has imaged a large number of exocomet belts around nearby stars, and the tiny pebbles within them. The crystal-clear images show light being emitted from these millimetre-sized pebbles within the belts that orbit 74 nearby stars of a wide variety of ages - from those that are just emerging to those in more mature systems like our own Solar System.
