A team at the University of Basel shows that counting only the coherent part of leaking light as work, and the fluctuations as heat, makes quantum and classical thermodynamics agree for a single-atom light engine.

Lmao, so physicists finally agreed on what “work” means, and it’s still the bill I’m paying.
