Control of Covalent Bond Enables Efficient Magnetic Cooling
Magnetic cooling, harnessing the temperature change in matter when exposed to a magnetic field, presents an energy-efficient and climate-friendly alternative to traditional vapor-compression refrigeration systems, with a significantly lower global warming potential. The advancement of this technology would be accelerated if irreversible losses arising from hysteresis in magnetocaloric materials were minimized. Despite extensive efforts to manipulate crystal lattice constants at the unit-cell le…

A Coalgebraic Model of Quantum Bisimulation
Recent works have shown that defining a behavioural equivalence that matches the observational properties of a quantum-capable, concurrent, non-deterministic system is a surprisingly difficult task. We explore coalgebras over distributions taking weights from a generic effect algebra, which subsumes probabilities and quantum effects, a physical formalism that represents the probabilistic behaviour of an open quantum system. To abide by the properties of quantum theory, we introduce monads grade…
