Dynamical blockade of a reservoir for optimal performances of a quantum battery

The development of fast and efficient quantum batteries is crucial for the prospects of quantum technologies. In this work the authors have shown that both requirements are accomplished in the paradigmatic model of a harmonic oscillator strongly coupled to a highly non-Markovian thermal reservoir.

Envisioning a Future Where Wastewater Doesn’t Go to Waste

Wastewater generated by animal farms poses a significant environmental risk, as it can pollute soil and groundwater and can be hazardous to human health. However, animal farm wastewater also contains carbon and many other nutrients. What if we could extract the carbon and nutrients and then release treated water back into the environment?

That’s the future envisioned by Prathap Parameswaran, an associate professor at Kansas State University who researches how to use environmental biotechnology platforms for biological wastewater treatment and sustainable resource recovery.

ABPDU and Kansas State University researchers make progress on extracting useful products from animal farm wastewater.
