A Shortcut to Finite-time Memory Erasure
arXiv:2307.00964 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.110.034115
Abstract
To achieve fast computation, it is crucial to reset the memory to a desired state within a limited time. However, the inherent delay in the system's response often prevents reaching the desired state once the control process is completed in finite time. To address this challenge, we propose a shortcut strategy that incorporates an auxiliary control to guide the system towards an equilibrium state that corresponds to the intended control, thus enabling accurate memory reset. Through the application of thermodynamic geometry, we derive an optimal shortcut protocol for erasure processes that minimizes the energy cost. This research provides an effective design principle for realizing the finite-time erasure process while simultaneously reducing the energy cost, thereby alleviating the burden of heat dissipation.
