Abstract

The quantum device comprises a transmission structure, wherein based on its geometrical arrangement, interference and quantum collapse, the transmission structure is designed such that quantum waves emitted by at least two bodies, for example, by thermal excitation, are passed preferentially to a subset of these bodies, without the need for a magnetic field to be applied.
