Information Demons go to Vegas

Like games of chance and stocks, small physical systems are subject to fluctuations, following an unpredictable evolution. These fluctuations are not purely random, but obey universal statistical laws. In particular, information about the evolution of a thermodynamic system can be used by Maxwell’s…

Elegant measurements in Bell experiments prove efficient for quantum communication

Armin Tavakoli, new PostDoc at IQOQI-Vienna, investigates with his international co-authors the role of outstanding and elegant quantum measurements in generating the strongest forms of quantum phenomena (Bell's nonlocality). The results, published in the journal Science Advances, show that these…
