Description
The Industrial Revolution meets the quantum-technology revolution in a fascinating exploration of how mind-blowing quantum physics is transforming our understanding of information and energy. Dr. Nicole Yunger Halpern introduces the concept of "quantum steampunk," a new branch of science that reimagines the scientific underpinnings of the Industrial Revolution through the lens of today's quantum information revolution. By peering at the minute details of quantum mechanics, classical thermodynamics can be reimagined to take advantage of the latest discoveries. This book takes readers on a journey to explore the intersection of quantum physics and the Industrial Revolution, delving into questions about the potential of quantum physics to revolutionize engines and reveal deeper secrets about the trajectory of time. With an insider's look at the work of the scientists obsessed with the technological promise of quantum information, this book provides a unique perspective on the latest developments in quantum thermodynamics.
