A 135-year-old chemistry law is getting a quantum makeover. An experiment with a single quantum bit, or a qubit, has uncovered that the Arrhenius equation, which describes how reaction rates relate to temperature, must be modified to apply in the quantum realm.

Abstract
This white paper examines the remarkable parallels between two groundbreaking research approaches: the quantum reinterpretation of the Arrhenius equation in chemistry and the geometric interpretation of Navajo diphthongs in linguistics. Both papers demonstrate how quantum mechanical principles can illuminate phenomena in seemingly unrelated fields, suggesting a deeper unity in how complex systems manifest across disciplines.
