Designers of digital solutions increasingly consult Large Language Models (LLMs) for their work. However, it remains unclear how this may affect the user experiences they produce and there are no established practices. We investigate how…
This study explores the virtualization of classical reality and aims to establish a clear framework to determine the limits and possibilities of virtual reality. It addresses two primary questions: whether an observer's senses can perceive…
A quantum system and a thermal bath can reach thermal equilibrium through an interaction, whereupon the system acquires the same temperature as the bath. But how does a delocalised quantum system thermalise with a bath whose local…
