Résumé de section
-
Lecture: Nicolas Macris
Overview of very classic material in thermodynamics of computation.
1) Maxwell demon, Szilard engines, Landauer principle, reversible & irreversible computation.
2) Deeper dive into Landauer's principle.
-
A paper 'proving' the Landauer bound with 'minimal' models and assumptions.
-
A paper 'proving' Landauer's bound through a stochastic model. Formalises much of Landauers arguments and close in spirit.
-
Landauer's original paper
-
Nice discussion paper
-
Nice review paper on Szilard engine. Notably discusses a mechanical device for measurements without heat dissipation.
