Quantum thermodynamics is a field of study that combines principles of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics to better understand the behavior and properties of small systems at the microscopic scale. It explores how quantum effects such as superposition and entanglement impact the flow of energy and heat in these systems, and how these effects can be harnessed for technological applications. The goal of quantum thermodynamics is to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the fundamental laws governing energy transfer and conversion in quantum systems, and to develop more efficient and innovative technologies based on these principles.
