ASPECTS @aspects-quantum.bsky.social · 28/08/2025ASPECTS Principal Investigator, Natalia Ares, kicks off our 4th day of FLQT, introducing invited speaker Nikolai Kiesel. Find out more: www.aspects-quantum.com/flqt2025 010
ASPECTS @aspects-quantum.bsky.social · 27/08/2025🔍 How uncertain can quantum systems be? Saulo Moreira shares work developing new bounds that show how quantum effects—like coherence and correlations—can break classical limits on uncertainty. This helps us better understand how quantum systems behave when measured. 032
ASPECTS @aspects-quantum.bsky.social · 27/08/2025Emanuel Schwarzhans discusses how entropy production powers detection—and limits it. Efficiency, jitter, dead time, dark counts: all tied to thermodynamic cost. 031
ASPECTS @aspects-quantum.bsky.social · 27/08/2025 What defines a clock in quantum mechanics? Paul Erker explores the minimal ingredients for timekeeping in the quantum regime, introducing autonomous quantum clocks and the thermodynamic trade-offs that constrain their precision. A deep dive into time, entropy, and the limits of quantum tech. 031
ASPECTS @aspects-quantum.bsky.social · 27/08/2025ASPECTS' Javier Prior presents his team's work looking at how strong coupling reshapes heat flow in open quantum systems—exploring non-Markovian effects, coherence-driven fluctuations & new equilibrium states. 021
ASPECTS @aspects-quantum.bsky.social · 27/08/2025🕰️ What’s the real cost of reading time? ASPECTS experiment reveals that the measurement of quantum ticks—not their generation—is the dominant source of entropy in quantum timekeeping. Far from wasteful, this quantum-to-classical transition boosts precision. #FLQT2025 032

Reposted by ASPECTSMark Mitchison @mitchison.bsky.social · 26/08/2025Fresh on arXiv! arxiv.org/abs/2508.16375 By casting detectors as autonomous thermal machines, we uncover the link between entropy production and the detector’s efficiency, timing jitter, dead time and dark counts. Outstanding work by Manu Schwarzhans with my @aspects-quantum.bsky.social friends ❤️ 061

Reposted by ASPECTSFlorian Meier @mathsmire.bsky.social · 02/06/2025What started as informal discussions on the Danube beach in Vienna during QTD2023 has been published at last. Trying to come up with an experimentally feasible quantum clock we came across a rich model – the ring clock – that overturned a common wisdom in the community. doi.org/10.1038/s415... 1146
