Breakdown of the Landauer bound for information erasure in the quantum regime

AE Allahverdyan, TM Nieuwenhuizen - Physical Review E, 2001 - APS
A known aspect of the Clausius inequality is that an equilibrium system subjected to a
squeezing dS< 0 of its entropy must release at least an amount| đ Q|= T| dS| of heat. This …

Finite-time quantum Landauer principle and quantum coherence

T Van Vu, K Saito - Physical review letters, 2022 - APS
The Landauer principle states that any logically irreversible information processing must be
accompanied by dissipation into the environment. In this Letter, we investigate the heat …

Information erasure

B Piechocinska - Physical Review A, 2000 - APS
Landauer's principle states that in erasing one bit of information, on average, at least k BT ln
(2) energy is dissipated into the environment (where k B is Boltzmann's constant and T is the …

Approximate reversibility in the context of entropy gain, information gain, and complete positivity

F Buscemi, S Das, MM Wilde - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
There are several inequalities in physics which limit how well we can process physical
systems to achieve some intended goal, including the second law of thermodynamics …
