But can a clock—which distinguishes past from future—be truly reversible? Of course not! The resolution is that monitoring equilibrium fluctuations requires a detector that is out of equilibrium, producing entropy. Our friends @naresgroup.bsky.social showed this in a proof-of-principle experiment.

A picture showing a quantum clock (left) driven by a thermal gradient, whose ticks are transitions between microscopic quantum states. Reading out these transitions requires an active tick sensor, which produces a large amount of entropy per tick of the clock.

🕰️ 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

By the way, in order to do 2nd quantized perturbation theory we needed to figure out how to simplify operator expressions, which is quite useful by itself. Check out our docs here: pymablock.readthedocs.io/en/latest/se... if you need to do symbolic 2nd quantized computations.

What 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...

Latest preprint from the ASPECTS consortium! arxiv.org/abs/2502.00096 Experiments by the amazing @naresgroup.bsky.social and theory by @mathsmire.bsky.social of @quitphysics.info We measured the entropy cost of generating and recording ticks in a microscopic clock 1/6 🧵👇

Depiction of the quantum-classical transition in a microscopic clock. A quantum clock transitions between three discrete states, driven by thermal noise. These transitions are amplified by a sensor into a classical signal, which can be shared among classical observers as an objective record of the passage of time.

I added some memory to this quantum feed. Let's see if this works. The quantum community out here seems to get more lively with time. Still slower than X somehow. Convince your friends to join here. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Now that our recent work on the emergence of a 2nd law of thermodynamics in isolated quantum systems has been published, I thought it may be a good opportunity to share some animations outlining the intuition for the principle behind it. doi.org/10.1103/PRXQ... See thread below 👇
