This project aims to provide new knowledge about the relationships between energy, entropy and information in the quantum realm of nanoscale machines and few-atoms systems. The Second Quantum Revolution is currently underway, and represents the merging of thermodynamic concepts of heat and work, with quantum concepts of information processing and entanglement. The project intends to shed light on how classical ideas on the nature of heat and work translate to quantum devices. The knowledge arising from the project is expected to underpin experimental breakthroughs in the field and aid the development of new quantum technologies. The benefits lie in informing the design of new energy-efficient quantum materials, making future quantum technologies thermodynamically viable, and strengthening Australia's capacity to develop a modern, knowledge-based economy.

本项目的目的是在纳米级机器和少原子系统的量子领域提供关于能量、熵和信息之间关系的新知识。第二次量子革命正在进行中，代表着热和功的热力学概念与信息处理和纠缠的量子概念的融合。该项目旨在阐明关于热和功的性质的经典思想如何转化为量子设备。该项目产生的知识预计将支持该领域的实验突破，并有助于新量子技术的发展。其好处在于为新的节能量子材料的设计提供信息，使未来的量子技术在物理上可行，并加强澳大利亚发展现代知识经济的能力。
