This is now out in the journal Physical Review X Quantum! Super excited to be able to share this piece of work with everyone. I'm incredibly proud of it journals.aps.org/prxquantum/…
New preprint! On the fascinating question of how exactly the second law of thermodynamics works for isolated quantum systems. It had it all: weird conceptual problems to ponder, tricky maths to tackle, and fun simulations to play with. Check it out:

Proud to see this finding a home in @PhysRevLett

(1/10) Here's a 🧵with my own personal year-in-review for quantum thermodynamics summarising some of my favorite results from 2024.
I'm sure I'll miss many things but for a field which quite a few scientists claim is dead so very many cool results were achieved this year.
Feel free to reply with your own thoughts and contributions 😀 In no particular order...

Today my article for the online magazine scilog (FWF) was published. 🙌 It is my first commissioned pop-science piece so I'm quite excited. Enjoy my tableware-related analogy for quantum sensors and how it connects to Jupiter below 😊

New review article from our ASPECTS partners on autonomous quantum machines 🤖⚙️⚛️
I didn't even realize how #steampunk autonomous quantum machines are until my coauthor Pauli pointed the matter out. How could I have missed it?! Thanks to all my coauthors on our key-issues review, now out in Reports on Progress in Physics! doi.org/10.1088/1361-6633/ad…

Our fantastic consortium at @UMmalta today, taking a break between sessions at our general assembly @MarkMitchison @NAresgroup @TrinityQuantum @QuantumFlagship @ambercentre @MathsMire @Saulo_mtb_mtx @qalypsoschool @Entanarchist @quit_physics

A quantum version of Babbage's Analytical Engine: Florian Meier @MathsMire perfectly captures the spirit of #QTD2024.
QuIT Physics (@quitphysics.info on 🟦☁️) retweeted
Beautiful new work led by @MathsMire and the @quit_physics gang, getting to the heart of the question driving the ASPECTS project: what is the thermodynamic cost of precision? It turns out: with the right quantum system, not that much! 🧵⬇️

What happens if you have nonlocality on a quantum network, but you don't know/trust the exact topology of the network? In other words, is nonlocality robust to changes in network topology??
We show that yes. Very yes.

Entropy increases under unitary dynamics, just depends which entropy you're talking about and what state you start from.
Nice to be the bass player for once providing grooves if needed
Thanks to everyone, especially @MathsMire for making something great from disjoint ideas.

If you want to know more, I actually wrote a "popular science" outline of the work on my personal website. (First time posting there in a long time!) It's just such a fascinating question to think about: tomrivlin.com/2024/06/a-new-…

It turns out it's hard for actions of people to be
- coordinated &
- symmetric
simultaneously, at least if they are allowed only nearest-neighbor strategies, in the triangle.
In our recent work, we establish a Bell inequality that captures the trade-off

Maximilian Lock asks how one rigorously delineates which parts of an experiment should be modelled unitarily versus projectionally?

Physicist Maximilian Lock: Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution for ideal gases arises from a lack of perfect microscopic knowledge. With complete particle information, we could observe deviations from the predicted distribution at specific moments.

Led by superstar Sophie Engineer from @BBQuantum, with help from us in @quit_physics, here we continue our study of a thermodynamically-consistent model of quantum measurements, by finding a class of equilibrating observables
