This probablyhas to be pluged in to work, like a heat pump that must be pluged in to send heat in the wrong direction, and not like elecric diodes that don't need an additional energy source.

> Additionally, they open up new opportunities for energy harvesting by capturing waste heat generated in quantum systems and converting it into usable energy.

Nah. That's not possible. Someone that is not an expert hallucinated it and added that to the press article.
