Irreversible entropy production: From classical to quantum

GT Landi, M Paternostro - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2021 - APS
Entropy production is a key quantity in any finite-time thermodynamic process. It is intimately
tied with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, embodying a tool to extend …

Finite-time Landauer principle

K Proesmans, J Ehrich, J Bechhoefer - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
We study the thermodynamic cost associated with the erasure of one bit of information over
a finite amount of time. We present a general framework for minimizing the average work …

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 …

Geometrical bounds of the irreversibility in Markovian systems

T Van Vu, Y Hasegawa - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We derive geometrical bounds on the irreversibility in both quantum and classical Markovian
open systems that satisfy the detailed balance condition. Using information geometry, we …

Two-qubit engine fueled by entanglement and local measurements

L Bresque, PA Camati, S Rogers, K Murch… - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We introduce a two-qubit engine that is powered by entanglement and local measurements.
Energy is extracted from the detuned qubits coherently exchanging a single excitation …

Universal bound on energy cost of bit reset in finite time

YZ Zhen, D Egloff, K Modi, O Dahlsten - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We consider how the energy cost of bit reset scales with the time duration of the protocol. Bit
reset necessarily takes place in finite time, where there is an extra penalty on top of the …

Quantum fluctuations hinder finite-time information erasure near the Landauer limit

HJD Miller, G Guarnieri, MT Mitchison, J Goold - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
Information is physical but information is also processed in finite time. Where computing
protocols are concerned, finite-time processing in the quantum regime can dynamically …

Quantum speed limits for information and coherence

B Mohan, S Das, AK Pati - New Journal of Physics, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
The quantum speed limit indicates the maximal evolution speed of the quantum system. In
this work, we determine speed limits on the informational measures, namely the von …

Energetic cost of Hamiltonian quantum gates

S Deffner - Europhysics Letters, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Landauer's principle laid the main foundation for the development of modern
thermodynamics of information. However, in its original inception the principle relies on …

Finite-time Landauer principle beyond weak coupling

A Rolandi, M Perarnau-Llobet - Quantum, 2023 - quantum-journal.org
Landauer's principle gives a fundamental limit to the thermodynamic cost of erasing
information. Its saturation requires a reversible isothermal process, and hence infinite time …
