But the steam engines that\npowered the Industrial Revolution were large and classical. Much of\ ntoday’s technology and experiments are small-scale\, quantum\, and\nout -of-equilibrium. Nineteenth-century thermodynamics requires\nupdating for the 21st century. Guidance has come from the mathematical\ntoolkit of quan tum information theory.\n DTSTAMP:20250523T015236Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
