Oh! and this is just a rough idea of mine: looking at the development of quantum information/computing and the rise of quantum thermo, do you think quantum effects can enhance energy storage, also refrigeration? i know about laser cooling but maybe with stronger theory we can do more
I haven't looked at it in awhile but there is some form of quantum advantage for batteries for example :). Quantum thermo is a really exciting direction!
@@JonathonRiddell quantum advantage for batteries? do you know the refs? sounds so cool... knowing energy storage is what made tech clunky and heavy still, this could be real huge. either that or some sort of portable nuclear generator
So this research is rather new but here are some examples: journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.117702 for charging and journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.111.240401 for work extraction. A textbook option for all of this is: amzn.to/3Kpjji0
oh jon, just occured to me. in the future, could you do an explanation on correlation functions as used in statistical and quantum physics? the concept eludes me especially when related to green's functions. thanks!
how do you "guide" the process of the thesis research? like, what if it turns out unitary dynamics didn't reproduce statistical mechanics for many-body? how convinced were you when you started? backup plan?
Ideally your supervisor helps a lot, before starting out I wouldn't have had the background I think. There was already a fair amount of research on my topic prior to me starting but it wasn't obvious what kind of progress could be made. So I would say, conversations with more senior people if you access to that.
I'm sooo thankful. Youre cool !! Im about to publish one new paper about quantum chaos. Studied also in a unitary way. Ill let you know when I'm done. Bye !!

Very cool! Keep me updated :)
