A 135-year-old chemistry regulation is getting a quantum makeover. An experiment with a single quantum bit, or a qubit, has uncovered that the Arrhenius equation, which describes how response charges relate to temperature, have to be modified to use within the quantum realm.
Rodrigo Cortiñas at Yale College says he by no means doubted that the Arrhenius equation would translate on to a quantum experiment – till he and…
