The minimal work cost of information processing

P Faist, F Dupuis, J Oppenheim, R Renner - Nature communications, 2015 - nature.com
Irreversible information processing cannot be carried out without some inevitable
thermodynamical work cost. This fundamental restriction, known as Landauer's principle, is …

Total cost of operating an information engine

J Um, H Hinrichsen, C Kwon, H Park - New Journal of Physics, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We study a two-level system controlled in a discrete feedback loop, modeling both the
system and the controller in terms of stochastic Markov processes. We find that the extracted …

Physical foundations of Landauer's principle

MP Frank - International Conference on Reversible Computation, 2018 - Springer
We review the physical foundations of Landauer's Principle, which relates the loss of
information from a computational process to an increase in thermodynamic entropy. Despite …

Efficiency of heat engines coupled to nonequilibrium reservoirs

O Abah, E Lutz - Europhysics Letters, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
