For many years, physicists have treated knowledge as a kind of fuel in the quantum world, allowing us to know systems more precisely. You can squeeze more work out of it. But this well-valued assumption is now under attack. Researchers have shown in a new study that even a quantum state’s complete uncertainty does not … Read more
