Hot water sometimes freezes faster than cold — this is the Mpemba effect. Physicists found its quantum version: a heated atom cools down quicker than a warm one. This quirk supercharged a microscopic fridge, boosting its power. Soon, quantum gadgets might chill just as swiftly.
🎯 Although the Mpemba effect in a glass of water is not always observed and still sparks debate, its quantum sibling turned out to be more reliable and predictable.
