Funded Activity Summary

Quantum thermodynamics of ultra-cold atoms. This project aims to provide new knowledge about the relationships between energy, entropy and information in the quantum realm of nanoscale machines and few-atoms systems. The Second Quantum Revolution is currently underway, and represents the merging of thermodynamic concepts of heat and work, with quantum concepts of information processing and entanglement. The project intends to shed light on how classical ideas on the nature of heat and work translate to quantum devices. The knowledge arising from the project is expected to underpin experimental breakthroughs in the field and aid the development of new quantum technologies. The benefits lie in informing the design of new energy-efficient quantum materials, making future quantum technologies thermodynamically viable, and strengthening Australia's capacity to develop a modern, knowledge-based economy.
