Article Synopsis
  • Quantum thermodynamics focuses on understanding how thermodynamic laws apply to thermal machines at the quantum level, where phenomena like coherence and entanglement play significant roles.
  • Although progress has been made, it has been challenging to observe these quantum effects in thermal machines.
  • The study presents an experimental method to measure quantum corrections caused by quantum friction, using trapped ions and laser techniques, showcasing the ability to identify quantum signatures even amid experimental errors and outside known theoretical limits.

Background Using an innovative framework of complexity and implementation science, with underpinning core values of appreciative inquiry (CIS-A), this paper describes the evaluation of a pilot service in New Zealand aiming to deliver integrated psychological therapy services within primary care, to young people (aged 18-24) experiencing mild to moderate mental distress. Method Using mixed quantitative and qualitative methods and multiple data sources, there was a strong focus on local innovation and co-design with service users, young people and multiple care providers. Data is drawn from service users, stakeholders and providers of the service in three areas of the lower North Island of New Zealand.
