The Quantum Mpemba Paradox: Why Hotter Cools Faster ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Quantum Many-Body Mpemba Effect through Resonances"
Physicists have uncovered the mechanism of the quantum Mpemba effect — the path from chaos to order is shorter than it seems.

Hot tea sometimes cools faster than warm — a puzzle from physics textbooks. And now its quantum version: in the world of particles, a state far from equilibrium can settle down first. Scientists found the key: special rhythms of chaos that accelerate the 'forgetting' of the past. A new type of effect will ease experiments on quantum computers.
🎯 To test the effect, scientists used states inspired by number theory — and equilibrium was reached tens of times faster.
