Landauer’s Principle and Divergenceless Dynamical Systems [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2009
Landauer’s principle is one of the pillars of the physics of information. It constitutes one of the foundations behind the idea that “information is physical”.

Disentangling Brillouin’s Negentropy Law of Information and Landauer’s Law on Data Erasure [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
The link between information and energy introduces the observer and their knowledge into the understanding of a fundamental quantity in physics. Two approaches compete to account for this link—Brillouin’s negentropy law of information and Landauer’s law ...

Mechanistic Insights into Electronic Current Flow through Quinone Devices [PDF]

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2023
Molecular switches based on functionalized graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are of great interest in the development of nanoelectronics. In experiment, it was found that a significant difference in the conductance of an anthraquinone derivative can be ...

The Wave–Particle Dualism of Photons as Seen from an Informational Point of View [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
This paper deals with J. A. Wheeler’s proposal that each piece of reality owes its existence to observation—an approach to physics, which implies that all physical entities at their bottom are informational in character.

An improved Landauer principle with finite-size corrections

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
Landauerʼs principle relates entropy decrease and heat dissipation during logically irreversible processes. Most theoretical justifications of Landauerʼs principle either use thermodynamic reasoning or rely on specific models based on arguable ...

Generalized Landauer Bound for Information Processing: Proof and Applications [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
A generalized form of Landauer’s bound on the dissipative cost of classical information processing in quantum-mechanical systems is proved using a new approach.

The Hyperbolically Symmetric Black Hole [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
We describe some properties of the hyperbolically symmetric black hole (hereafter referred to as the HSBH) proposed a few years ago. We start by explaining the main motivation behind such an idea, and we determine the main differences between this ...

Limits of Landauer’s principle and of the second law of thermodynamics

open access: yesEntropie
Since 1857, the second law of thermodynamics has faced the challenge of Maxwell’s imagined demon. The widely accepted response to this challenge suggests that the demon requires a bit of information to work, and according to Landauer’s principle ...

Finite-time Landauer principle beyond weak coupling [PDF]

open access: yesQuantum, 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.
