Minimax entropy production for arbitrary processes
Mahran Yousef, Ben Ansbacher, David H. Wolpert
For any physical process, varying the initial distribution over its states will change the resulting expected entropy production (EP). An initial distribution that minimizes the EP…
Strengthened second law for periodic processes
Jake Schaefer, Ben Ansbacher, Jan Korbel +1
We derive a lower bound on the entropy production of any physical system that evolves as a periodic process. Crucially, this lower bound is completely independent of the physical m…
Finite relaxation protocols with minimal dissipation
Ben Ansbacher, Harrison Hartle, Abhishek Yadav +2
Work extraction from nonequilibrium systems is a major challenge across biological, chemical, physical, and engineering systems. Idealized protocols generally require a quasistatic…
A strictly positive lower bound on the thermodynamic cost of running a Boolean circuit
Abhishek Yadav, Mahran Yousef, David Wolpert
All digital computers implement input-output functions using logic gates connected into circuits. Different circuits computing the same function may nevertheless incur different re…
Entropy production bounds for systems running computer programs
Abhishek Yadav, Francesco Caravelli, David Wolpert
Mismatch cost (MMC) is a universally applicable lower bound on the entropy production (EP) of any fixed physical process across a given time interval. In the first part of the pape…
Minimal thermodynamic cost of communication
Abhishek Yadav, David Wolpert
Thermodynamic cost of communication is a major factor in the thermodynamic cost of real-world computers, both biological and digital. Despite its importance, the fundamental princi…
Is stochastic thermodynamics the key to understanding the energy costs of computation?
David Wolpert, Jan Korbel, Christopher Lynn +16
The relationship between the thermodynamic and computational characteristics of dynamical physical systems has been a major theoretical interest since at least the 19th century, an…
