A Bit Cold: Physicists Devise a Quantum Particle "Refrigerator"

Friday, September 10, 2010 - 15:07 in Physics & Chemistry

Call it the little chill. A group of theoretical physicists has mapped out the physics framework for what may be the smallest refrigerators imaginable. Each device would target just one quantum bit, or qubit, for cooling, and would require just one or two additional quantum particles to do the job.
