Classical heat engines, such as petrol motors, convert thermal energy from hot gases into useful work, but with limited efficiency as much of the thermal energy is lost as waste heat. The project aims to combine experimental techniques in quantum information processing with recent theoretical developments in quantum thermodynamics to demonstrate a proof-of-concept heat engine that converts thermal energy into work with 100% efficiency. A heat engine of this kind would provide significant benefits to Australia with its potential to revolutionise how we store and use energy. The project will enable Griffith University to continue its pioneering role in developing this technology and to maintain long-term international collaborations.

传统的热机，如汽油发动机，将热气体中的热能转化为有用的功，但效率有限，因为大部分热能作为废热损失掉了。该项目旨在将量子信息处理的实验技术与量子热力学的最新理论发展相结合，以演示一种概念验证热机，该热机将热能以100%的效率转换为功。这种热机将为澳大利亚带来巨大的好处，因为它有可能彻底改变我们储存和使用能源的方式。该项目将使格里菲斯大学继续在发展这项技术方面发挥先锋作用，并保持长期的国际合作。
