Information and thermodynamics: fast and precise approach to Landauer's bound in an underdamped micro-mechanical oscillator

Salambô Dago, Jorge Pereda, Nicolas Barros +2

The Landauer principle states that at least $k_{B}T\ln 2$ of energy is required to erase a 1-bit memory, with $k_{B}T$ the thermal energy of the system. We study the effects of iner…
