Explore the intriguing thermodynamics of the quantum Mpemba effect in this 37-minute conference talk delivered by John Goold from Trinity College Dublin. Delve into cutting-edge research presented at the 10th International Conference on Quantum Information and Quantum Control (CQIQC-X) held on August 30, 2024. Gain insights into this fascinating phenomenon where, under certain conditions, a hot system can cool faster than a cold one when both are placed in contact with the same thermal bath. Discover how this effect manifests in quantum systems and its implications for our understanding of thermodynamics at the quantum scale.
