(Nanowerk News) Batteries that exploit quantum phenomena to gain, distribute and store power promise to surpass the abilities and usefulness of conventional chemical batteries in certain low-power ...

An artist's illustration of a particle in a quantum superposition. Quantum batteries of the future could gain charge by breaking the conventional laws of causality, research has shown. Conventional ...

Within our comfortable world of causality we expect that reactions always follow an action and not vice versa. This why the recent chatter in the media about researchers having discovered ‘negative ...

Quantum batteries could charge more efficiently by skirting conventional rules of causality. Yuanbo Chen at the University of Tokyo and his colleagues analysed whether a particularly counterintuitive ...

Quantum computers could gain an advantage over their conventional counterparts by bypassing the usual rules of cause and effect. “We were curious about how to push the limits of quantum computers, ...

In standard quantum theory, the causal order of occurrence between events is prescribed and must be definite. This has been maintained in all conventional operation scenarios for quantum batteries, ...

The study of quantum gravity seeks a synthesis between quantum mechanics and general relativity, and Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT) has emerged as a promising nonperturbative approach. In CDT, ...

In the classical world, if you tried to charge a battery using two chargers, you would have to do so in sequence, limiting the available options to just two possible orders. However, leveraging the ...

Batteries could charge up by relying on a quantum effect known as indefinite causal order, whereby the laws of cause and effect are scrambled and power can move through the system quicker. When you ...
