Fundamental Energy Requirement of Reversible Quantum Operations

Physical Review X, 2021
Landauer’s principle asserts that any computation has an unavoidable energy cost that grows proportionally to its degree of logical irreversibility. But even a logically reversible operation, when run on a physical processor that operates on different ...

A Self‐Organized Liquid Reaction Container for Cellular Memory

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
How cells restore epigenetic information lost during replication is not known. This work proposes a mechanism based on the formation of biomolecular condensates. These condensates are induced by the chromosome itself and serve as reaction vessels for reconstructing missing epigenetic markers.

The thermodynamical cost of some interpretations of quantum theory. Reply to Prunkl and Timpson, and Davidsson [PDF]

, 2019
Here we clarify the assumptions made and conclusions reached in our paper "The thermodynamical cost of some interpretations of quantum theory" [Phys. Rev. A 94, 052127 (2016)], at the light of the criticisms of Prunkl and Timpson [Stud. Hist. Philos. Sci.

Quantum predictions for an unmeasured system cannot be simulated with a finite-memory classical system

, 2018
We consider an ideal experiment in which unlimited nonprojective quantum measurements are sequentially performed on a system that is initially entangled with a distant one.

Transient Antiskyrmion‐Mediated Topological Transitions in Isotropic Magnets

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A transient antiskyrmion‐mediated pathway that drives repeated stripe‐to‐skyrmion transitions is revealed, producing a net increase in topological charge in isotropic Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction films. Experiments and simulations identify the antiskyrmion as a metastable excitation, enabling stochastic bitstream generation for probabilistic ...

Hidden Charge‐Order in the Mixed‐Valent K0.75Li2Cr6O12 High‐Pressure Oxide

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
K0.75Li2Cr6O12 is one of the few mixed valent chromium oxides. It shows a single angle spiral magnetic structure with a k = [1/3 1/3 ¼] propagation vector. Density functional theory reveals a hidden charge order that is necessary to stabilize the antiferromagnetic (AFM) ground state.

Entropy production and fluctuations in a Maxwell's refrigerator with squeezing

, 2018
Clarifying the impact of quantumness in the operation and properties of thermal machines represents a major challenge. Here we envisage a toy model acting either as an information-driven fridge or as heat-powered information eraser in which coherences ...

Chemical Doping Engineering of Polarization and Topological Textures in van der Waals Ferroelectric CuInP2S6

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Our work reports that Li⁺ doping in CuInP2S₆ induces coexistence of high‐ and low‐polarization states, which fosters a rich spectrum of topological polar textures, such as bubbles and labyrinth domains. An unconventional flexoelectric effect is also discovered, where strain gradients can mechanically manipulate these polarization states and their ...

Influence of Bottom Electrodes on the Ferroelectric Stability of AlScN Film at High Temperatures

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The thermal stability of AlScN depends on the bottom electrode. When the bottom electrode possesses compressive stress, tensile strain develops in the AlScN upon thermal annealing, reducing the switching barrier. When the bottom electrode forms a coherent interface with AlScN, significant tensile strain and defects are generated in the AlScN layer ...

Propagation of signals in the chains of bi-stable elements

AIP Advances, 2015
This article is devoted to treating the behavior of systems composed of an ensemble of bi-stable cells which are capable to write and store information and are connected with similar cells placed along one dimensional direction so as information can ...
