quantum thermodynamics
Quantum thermodynamics is a branch of physics that studies the behavior of energy and heat at the microscopic level, where quantum mechanics plays a significant role. It seeks to understand how quantum effects affect the laws of thermodynamics and the behavior of engines, refrigerators, and other thermodynamic devices at the quantum scale.
