Quantum simulation of thermodynamics in an integrated quantum photonic processor

Abstract One of the core questions of quantum physics is how to reconcile the unitary evolution of quantum states, which is information-preserving and time-reversible, with evolution following the second law of thermodynamics, which, in general, is neither. The resolution to this paradox is to recog...
