Entropy In Engineered Quantum Systems - Mesoscopic Thermodynamics Of Correlated Quantum States
Thermodynamics Research Into Engineered Quantum Systems Heats Upquantum Systems That Host Correlated Electronic States Are Of Outstanding Fundamental And Technological Interest. They Often Give Rise To Exotic Quasi-Particles Such As Majorana Fermions, Whose Inherent Topological Robustness Holds Great Potential For Use As Qubits In Quantum Computing. To Understand The Exotic Electronic States Found In Quantum Materials, The Eu-Funded Quantropy Project Will Devise New Ways To Measure Their Thermodynamic Properties, In Particular Entropy. Probing Electronic States In Low-Dimensional Systems Is Notoriously Difficult, In Part Because Of The Small Number Of Electrons Involved. Fully Exploiting Entropy Measurements In Mesoscopic Physics Will Further Mechanistic Understanding Of Correlated Quantum States In Engineered Structures.
