On the Precise Link between Energy and Information [PDF]
EntropyWe present a modified version of the Szilard engine, demonstrating that an explicit measurement procedure is entirely unnecessary for its operation. By considering our modified engine, we are able to provide a new interpretation of Landauer’s original ...

Landauer Principle and the Second Law in a Relativistic Communication Scenario [PDF]
EntropyThe problem of formulating thermodynamics in a relativistic scenario remains unresolved, although many proposals exist in the literature. The challenge arises due to the intrinsic dynamic structure of spacetime as established by the general theory of ...

Algorithmic Entropy and Landauer’s Principle Link Microscopic System Behaviour to the Thermodynamic Entropy [PDF]
Entropy, 2018 Algorithmic information theory in conjunction with Landauer’s principle can quantify the cost of maintaining a reversible real-world computational system distant from equilibrium. As computational bits are conserved in an isolated reversible system,

On the Supposed Mass of Entropy and That of Information [PDF]
EntropyIn the theory of special relativity, energy can be found in two forms: kinetic energy and rest mass. The potential energy of a body is actually stored in the form of rest mass, the interaction energy too, but temperature is not.

Finite-time Landauer principle beyond weak coupling [PDF]
Quantum, 2023 Landauer's principle gives a fundamental limit to the thermodynamic cost of erasing information. Its saturation requires a reversible isothermal process, and hence infinite time.

On Norton’s “…Shook…” and Myrvold’s “Shakin’…”
Philosophy of Physics, 2023 Norton’s and Myrvold’s recent analyses of fluctuations and Landauer’s principle are compatible.

Quantum measurements and Landauer’s principle
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Information processing systems must obey laws of physics. One of particular examples of this general statement is known as Landauer’s principle - irreversible operations (such as erasure) performed by any computing device at finite temperature have to ...

Landauer's principle in the quantum domain [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2010 Recent papers discussing thermodynamic processes in strongly coupled quantum systems claim a violation of Landauer's principle and imply a violation of the second law of thermodynamics. If true, this would have powerful consequences.

Endoreversible Models for the Thermodynamics of Computing
Entropy, 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.

Landauer Versus Nernst: What is the True Cost of Cooling a Quantum System?
PRX Quantum, 2023 Thermodynamics connects our knowledge of the world to our capability to manipulate and thus to control it. This crucial role of control is exemplified by the third law of thermodynamics, Nernst’s unattainability principle, which states that infinite ...
