"Quantum Computers Reach Absolute Zero with Third Law of Thermodynamics"

A research team at TU Wien has developed a "quantum version" of the third law of thermodynamics, which theoretically allows for the attainment of absolute zero. However, this requires an infinite amount of energy, time, or complexity. The team found that special quantum systems can reach the absolute ground state even at finite energy and in finite time, but they are infinitely complex. This research is important for understanding the connection between quantum theory and thermodynamics, which is crucial for practical applications of quantum technologies.
