Teil 2: Marcus Huber: Thermodynamic limitations to quantum measurements and clocks

Marcus Huber arbeitet am IQOQI Wien.
Abstract: While quantum mechanics assumes a continuous parameter t driving the reversible time evolution of quantum systems, it is not a direct observable. We can only indirectly infer this parameter through operational definitions, such as operational time being defined through what a clock measures. But, in a universe with a non-zero temperature background, idealised quantum measurements are just as impossible as ideal quantum clocks. Indeed, the only operational way to measure time, or any quantum system, is through harnessing out-of-equilibrium resources, i.e. spending thermodynamic work to implement that measurement. In this talk we show how the work cost of quantum measurements and quantum clocks diverges as the quality of the measurement increases.
