MAXWELL’S DEMON. “If the particle has an electric charge, it will respond to vacuum fluctuations of the electric field, which will result in a small increase in the tunneling rate.” https://lnkd.in/eUwbdDwb View in LinkedIn

NOVEL MECHANISM. “Recent theory, however, has predicted that quantum fluctuations of electromagnetic fields could induce phonon coupling across a vacuum and thereby facilitate heat transfer.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1800-4 View in LinkedIn

THE ODDS GAME. “Quantum tunneling is a well known effect in quantum mechanics. For example, a quantum particle in a local potential minimum has a nonzero probability to tunnel through a potential maximum to reach another potential minimum with lower energy.” https://lnkd.in/eUwbdDwb View in LinkedIn

VACUUM HEAT TRANSFER. “In a vacuum, heat has long been thought to be transferred by radiation but not by phonons because of the lack of a medium.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1800-4 View in LinkedIn

GATEKEEPER. “Quantum fluctuations of physical observables, which commonly arise from quantum nature of the system, play a crucial role because they give out information about phase transitions, and large scale structure formation as well as phenomena which are dissipative in nature.” https://lnkd.in/eMV6hEup View in LinkedIn

“HEAT TRANSFER IN SOLIDS is typically conducted through either electrons or atomic vibrations known as phonons.” https://lnkd.in/eTH9gPjU View in LinkedIn

PROGRAMMED MATTER. “For me, it is so reasonable to assume that the photons in those experiments carry with them programs, which have been correlated in advance, telling them how to behave. This is so rational that I think that when Einstein saw that, and the others refused to see it, he was the rational man. The other people, although history has justified them, were burying their heads in the sand.” (John Bell, physicist, nominated for a Nobel the year he died). https://lnkd.in/gGu8zzTf View in LinkedIn

APPLICATIONS. “Our results provide physical insight into the reorganization of phases across a QPT, with implications for any theoretical description. This paves a new route for future quantum information applications.”(QPT = quantum phase transitions). https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-018-0264-z View in LinkedIn
