Finite-time erasing of information stored in fermionic bits
arXiv:1211.5340 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.87.012111
Abstract
We address the issue of minimizing the heat generated when erasing the information stored in an array of quantum dots in finite time. We identify the fundamental limitations and trade-offs involved in this process and analyze how a feedback operation can help improve it.
