In our latest FQxI original short doc, quantum physicists Benjamin Huard and Alexia Auffèves are building operational quantum engines using superconducting metals. They are using the power of quantum measurement to provide energy to small-scale engines. Will this work revolutionise the way we view and use the concept of information?

FQxI funds revolution, not evolution: The Institute is the leading body funding high-risk, high-reward research in the foundations of science.
