FOR 2724 - Thermal Machines in the Quantum World
FOR 2724 - Thermal machines in the quantum world
Theoretical and experimental physicists investigate the question of how thermal machines can be constructed and realized in the quantum world.
They want to provide experimental evidence that the rules of thermodynamics do indeed need to be changed when it comes to the smallest machines on the nanoscale.
