Memory erasure with finite-sized spin reservoir

Toshio Croucher, Joan A. Vaccaro

Landauer's erasure principle puts a fundamental constraint on the amount of work required to erase information using thermal reservoirs. Recently this bound was improved to include…

Thermodynamics of memory erasure via a spin reservoir

Toshio Croucher, Joan A. Vaccaro

Thermodynamics with multiple-conserved quantities offers a promising direction for designing novel devices. For example, Vaccaro and Barnett's [J. A. Vaccaro and S. M. Barnett, Pro…

The quantum theory of time, the block universe and human experience

Joan A. Vaccaro

Advances in our understanding of the physical universe have impacted dramatically on how we view ourselves. Right at the core of all modern thinking about the universe is the assum…

Is coherence catalytic?

Joan A. Vaccaro, Sarah Croke, Stephen M. Barnett

Quantum coherence, the ability to control the phases in superposition states is a resource, and it is of crucial importance, therefore, to understand how it is consumed in use. It…

Quantum heat engine operating between thermal and spin reservoirs

Jackson S. S. T. Wright, Tim Gould, André R. R. Carvalho +2

Landauer's erasure principle is a cornerstone of thermodynamics and information theory. According to this principle, erasing information incurs a minimum energy cost. Recently, Vac…

Information Erasure

T. Croucher, J. Wright, A. R. R. Carvalho +2

Information is central to thermodynamics, providing the grounds to the formulation of the theory in powerful abstract statistical terms. One must not forget, however, that, as put…
