Endoreversible Models for the Thermodynamics of Computing [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
Landauer’s principle says that, in principle, a computation can be performed without consumption of work, provided no information is erased during the computational process. This principle can be introduced into endoreversible models of thermodynamics.

Thermodynamical cost of reversible computing [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 2nd conference on Computing frontiers, 2005
Since reversible computing requires preservation of all information throughout the entire computational process, this implies that all errors that appear as a result of the interaction of the information-carrying system with uncontrolled degrees of freedom must be corrected.

The stochastic thermodynamics of computation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2019
Abstract One of the central concerns of computer science is how the resources needed to perform a given computation depend on that computation. Moreover, one of the major resource requirements of computers—ranging from biological cells to human brains to high-performance (engineered) computers—is the energy used ...

Thermodynamics of computation and information distance [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the twenty-fifth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing - STOC '93, 1993
Applying the tools of algorithmic information theory, we compare several candidates for an asymptotically machine-independent. absolute measure of the informational or ``cognitive`` distance between discrete objects x and y. The maximum of the conditional Kolmogorov complexities max{l_brace}K(y{vert_bar}z) K(m{vert_bar}y){r_brace}, is shown to be ...

Thermodynamics of Quantum Trajectories on a Quantum Computer

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2023
Quantum computers have recently become available as noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. Already these machines yield a useful environment for research on quantum systems and dynamics. Building on this opportunity, we investigate open-system dynamics that are simulated on a quantum computer by coupling a system of interest to an ancilla.

Thermodynamics of glasses: a first principles computation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 1999
We propose a first principle computation of the thermodynamics of simple fragile glasses starting from the two body interatomic potential. A replica formulation translates this problem into that of a gas of interacting molecules, each molecule being built of $m$ atoms, and having a gyration radius (related to the cage size) which vanishes at zero ...

Landauer principle and thermodynamics of computation

open access: yesReports on Progress in Physics
Abstract According to the Landauer principle, any logically irreversible process accompanies entropy production, which results in heat dissipation in the environment. Erasing of information, one of the primary logically irreversible processes, has a lower bound on heat dissipated into the environment, called the Landauer bound (LB ...
