Entropy and computation: The Landauer-Bennett thesis reexamined

M Hemmo, O Shenker - Entropy, 2013 - mdpi.com
The so-called Landauer-Bennett thesis says that logically irreversible operations (physically
implemented) such as erasure necessarily involve dissipation by at least k ln2 per bit of lost …

Physical foundations of Landauer's principle

MP Frank - International Conference on Reversible Computation, 2018 - Springer

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 …

Waiting for landauer

JD Norton - Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part B …, 2011 - Elsevier
Landauer's Principle asserts that there is an unavoidable cost in thermodynamic entropy
creation when data is erased. It is usually derived from incorrect assumptions, most notably …

Extending Landauer's bound from bit erasure to arbitrary computation

DH Wolpert - arxiv preprint arxiv:1508.05319, 2015 - arxiv.org
Recent analyses have calculated the minimal thermodynamic work required to perform a
computation pi when two conditions hold: the output of pi is independent of its input (eg, as …

Notes on Landauer's principle, reversible computation, and Maxwell's Demon

CH Bennett - Studies In History and Philosophy of Science Part B …, 2003 - Elsevier

Free energy of a general computation

Ä Baumeler, S Wolf - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
Starting from Landauer's slogan “information is physical,” we revise and modify Landauer's
principle stating that the erasure of information has a minimal price in the form of a certain …
