Information and thermodynamics: Fast and precise approach to landauer's bound in an underdamped micromechanical oscillator
The Landauer principle states that at least k BT ln 2 of energy is required to erase a 1-bit
memory, with k BT the thermal energy of the system. We study the effects of inertia on this …

Speed limit for a highly irreversible process and tight finite-time Landauer's bound
Landauer's bound is the minimum thermodynamic cost for erasing one bit of information. As
this bound is achievable only for quasistatic processes, finite-time operation incurs …

Dynamics of information erasure and extension of Landauer's bound to fast processes
Using a double-well potential as a physical memory, we study with experiments and
numerical simulations the energy exchanges during erasure processes, and model …

Memory erasure in small systems
R Dillenschneider, E Lutz - Physical review letters, 2009 - APS
We consider an overdamped nanoparticle in a driven double-well potential as a generic
model of an erasable 1-bit memory. We study in detail the statistics of the heat dissipated …

Experimental verification of Landauer's principle linking information and thermodynamics
Abstract In 1961, Rolf Landauer argued that the erasure of information is a dissipative
process 1. A minimal quantity of heat, proportional to the thermal energy and called the …

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 …

Experimental test of Landauer's principle in single-bit operations on nanomagnetic memory bits
Minimizing energy dissipation has emerged as the key challenge in continuing to scale the
performance of digital computers. The question of whether there exists a fundamental lower …

Classical pendulum clocks break the thermodynamic uncertainty relation
P Pietzonka - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
The thermodynamic uncertainty relation expresses a seemingly universal trade-off between
the cost for driving an autonomous system and precision in any output observable. It has so …
