In the process, however, energy is wasted. A typical car only turns around 25 percent of the energy in gasoline into useful energy to make it run. In order to solve this problem, Andrew Jordan, a professor of physics at the University of Rochester, New York, was recently awarded a three-year, $1 million grant fund from the Templeton Foundation to research quantum （量子）measurement engines-engines that use the principles of quantum mechanics to run with 100 percent efficiency. The research, to be carried out with co principal investigators in France and at Washington University St. Louis, could answer important questions about the laws of thermodynamics （热力学）in quantum systems and contribute to technologies such as more efficient engines and quantum computers. The team will also investigate another major area of research： how it might be possible to get work out of a system using entanglement （纠缠）as a fuel. In entanglement—one of the basic theories behind quantum physics—the properties of one particle are interlinked with properties of another, even when the particles are separated by a large distance. Using entanglement as a fuel has the possibly revolutionary feature of creating a nonlocal engine; half of an engine could be in New York, while the other half could be in California. The two halves can share the same energy resource to fuel both halves at the same time. When asked about the investment prospects, Jordan said, “We will show that the engine can, in principle, be perfectly efficient. That is, there would be an ideal transfer of energy from the measurement equipment to the quantum system. The University of Rochester has an existing strength in quantum physics, and indeed wa
