New paper out in #PRX_Quantum! 📃📃

We show when a heat-flow reversal is actually a signature of quantum nonclassicality as described by quantum generalized contextuality.

Contextuality in Anomalous Heat Flow
For a class of quantum systems that exhibit contextuality, a rigorous theoretical connection between anomalous heat flow and quantumness is established, thereby opening avenues to explore nonclassical...

If you are around the Centre for Quantum information and #Quantum control, go check out this talk!

Bárbara will talk about some recent results connecting the quantum thermo effect of anomalous #heat_flow to the notion of generalized #contextuality (considered a 'high-bar' for nonclassicality)

Quantumness Hierarchy In PT-Symmetric Systems Demonstrates Weaker Nonclassicality Than Damped Or Amplified Counterparts
Researchers demonstrate that a specially engineered quantum system, balancing both energy loss and gain, can generate stronger and more persistent non-classical quantum states than systems relying solely on loss or gain, offering advantages for practical quantum technologies.
