Aalto Researchers Build First Superconducting Heat Engine

Quantum Zeitgeist3 min read

Aalto University researchers demonstrated the first cyclic quantum heat engine, built within a superconducting circuit.

Aalto University researchers have built the world’s first superconducting quantum heat engine, a device comprised of a transmon qubit, a resonator and a quantum refrigerator, demonstrating a physical realization rather than a theoretical model. The newly developed engine advances understanding of thermodynamics and could enable technologies crucial for building high-qubit quantum computers, similar to the impact James Watt’s steam engine had on…
