Thermodynamics at the nano scale: The work cost of information processing
Philippe Faist,
Postdoctoral Scholar,
Brandao Group,
Abstract: I'll discuss an information-theoretic approach for extending the laws of thermodynamics to the nano scale, allowing us to derive a fundamental limit to the thermodynamic cost of information processing. Our approach sheds light on the role of the observer in thermodynamics.
