Large Interconnected Thermodynamic Systems Nearly Minimize Entropy Production
Kyle J. Ray, Alexander B. Boyd
Many have speculated whether nonequilibrium systems obey principles of maximum or minimum entropy production. In this work, we use stochastic thermodynamics to derive the condition…

Thermodynamic Advantage of Quantum Time-Reversal
Alexander B. Boyd, Paul M. Riechers
Classical computations inherently require energy dissipation that increases significantly as the reliability of the computation improves. This dissipation arises when transitions b…
