Could a quantum motor do work?

(PhysOrg.com) -- Ever since the idea of a quantum world was discovered, physicists have been trying their best to create applications and uses that mirror the accomplishments of the classical world. However, due to the fact that the quantum world is often quirky and not always well understood, sometimes these attempts go awry. In the case of a quantum motor, though, a theoretical paper out of the University of Augsburg in Germany might shed some light on how some of the quantum quirks might be overcome, resulting in an ac-driven quantum motor.
