The French inventor of Jacques de Vaucanson recalls, among others, XVIII. The century produces three strange automation. A past poster, especially a figure played a real flute, turned the tambourine and corn that turned a duck and apparently pellet … well, use your imagination.
Physicist Nicole Yunger HalpernBased on the National Standard and Technology Institute of Maryland, these ancient automations have resonance with some current technologies. Vaucanson’s inventions prefiged the industrial revolution, in which the mechanization became a curiosity of the strength that the world ranged again. It may currently in the analog tape of the inflection in terms of quantum technology, as Yunger Halpern says.
The world of vapor the revolution industry seems to be removed by quantum respect. But this period of dramatic change strengthened thermodynamics, which deals with heat, work and energy. And, recently, physicists have put his ideas to invent a new field of quantum thermodynamic kingdom. This has seen the development of machines, like quantum refrigerators, Batteries and Watches.
However, the quantum technology revolution is just the beginning, as Yunger Halpern says. He was the author of a manifesto of a new goal to board the way to get biggest things. He spoke New scientist What advanced quantum machines could be around, the amazing benefits that could lead to, and how we can function to become a reality.
