Irreversible information processing cannot be carried out without some inevitable
thermodynamical work cost. This fundamental restriction, known as Landauer's principle, is …

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 …

The fundamental lower bounds on the thermodynamic energy cost of measurement and
information erasure are determined. The lower bound on the erasure validates Landauer's …

We review and investigate the general theory of the thermodynamics of computation, and
derive the fundamental inequalities that set the lower bounds of the work requirement and …

The heat generated by computations is not only an obstacle to circuit miniaturization but also
a fundamental aspect of the relationship between information theory and thermodynamics …

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 …

We review the history of the thermodynamics of information processing, beginning with the
paradox of Maxwell's demon; continuing through the efforts of Szilard, Brillouin, and others …

Landauer's principle laid the main foundation for the development of modern
thermodynamics of information. However, in its original inception the principle relies on …

Landauer's principle sets fundamental thermodynamical constraints for classical and
quantum information processing, thus affecting not only various branches of physics, but …
