A groundbreaking reinterpretation of a 135-year-old chemistry law is set to revolutionize our understanding of quantum mechanics. Recent experiments utilizing a single quantum bit, or qubit, have revealed the need to modify the Arrhenius equation, which traditionally describes the relationship between reaction rates and temperature, to fit the quantum realm.
Leading researcher Rodrigo Cortiñas from Yale University expressed confidence that the Arrhenius equation would seamlessly transition into quantum experimentation, highlighting the significance of this discovery in the ongoing exploration of quantum chemistry.
