Nonequilibrium quantum Landauer principle.
Using the operational framework of completely positive, trace preserving operations and thermodynamic fluctuation relations, we derive a lower bound for the heat exchange in a Landauer erasure process on a quantum system. Our bound comes from a nonphenomenological derivation of the Landauer principle which holds for generic nonequilibrium dynamics. Furthermore, the bound depends on the nonunita...
متن کاملFar-from-equilibrium computation
We study the possibility of developing far-from-equilibrium computational systems, in analogy with corresponding self-organizing physical systems. We review the computational models developed in analogy with physical systems converging towards equilibrium and the research related to the self-organization of far-from-equilibrium physical systems. Based on this review, we define several nonequili...
متن کاملIsotropization far from equilibrium
Isotropization occurs on time scales much shorter than the thermal equilibration time. This is a crucial ingredient for the understanding of collision experiments of heavy nuclei or other nonequilibrium phenomena in complex many body systems. We discuss in detail the limitations of estimates based on standard “linear” or relaxationtime approximations, where isotropization and thermal equilibrat...
متن کاملInformation transfer and Landauer s principle
In this paper we present an analysis of information transfer based on Landauer s principle (i.e., erasure of information is associated with an increase in entropy), as well as considerations of analyticity and causality. We demonstrate that holomorphic functions allowing complete analytic continuation cannot propagate any information, such that information transfer only occurs with analytic fun...
متن کاملUltracold gases far from equilibrium
Ultracold atomic quantum gases belong to the most exciting challenges of modern physics. Their theoretical description has drawn much from (semi-) classical field equations. These mean-field approximations are in general reliable for dilute gases in which the atoms collide only rarely with each other, and for situations where the gas is not too far from thermal equilibrium. With present-day tec...
