Researchers at Qufu Normal University demonstrated a nonreciprocal quantum Mpemba effect, a phenomenon where a system farther from equilibrium can relax faster than one closer to it. This effect is controlled by swapping parameters of isomorphic reservoirs coupled to an open quantum system, altering relaxation pathways without changing the system’s energy spectrum.
