Information-theoretic bound on the energy cost of stochastic simulation

Karoline Wiesner, Mile Gu, Elisabeth Rieper +1

Physical systems are often simulated using a stochastic computation where different final states result from identical initial states. Here, we derive the minimum energy cost of si…

Occam's Quantum Razor: How Quantum Mechanics can reduce the complexity of classical models

Mile Gu, Karoline Wiesner, Elisabeth Rieper +1

Mathematical models are an essential component of quantitative science. They generate predictions about the future, based on information available in the present. In the spirit of…

Quantum entanglement between the electron clouds of nucleic acids in DNA

Elisabeth Rieper, Janet Anders, Vlatko Vedral

We model the electron clouds of nucleic acids in DNA as a chain of coupled quantum harmonic oscillators with dipole-dipole interaction between nearest neighbours resulting in a van…

The work value of information

Oscar C. O. Dahlsten, Renato Renner, Elisabeth Rieper +1

We present quantitative relations between work and information that are valid both for finite sized and internally correlated systems as well in the thermodynamical limit. We sugge…

Entanglement at the quantum phase transition in a harmonic lattice

Elisabeth Rieper, Janet Anders, Vlatko Vedral

The entanglement properties of the phase transition in a two dimensional harmonic lattice, similar to the one observed in recent ion trap experiments, are discussed both, for finit…

Sustained Quantum Coherence and Entanglement in the Avian Compass

Erik Gauger, Elisabeth Rieper, John J. L. Morton +2

In artificial systems, quantum superposition and entanglement typically decay rapidly unless cryogenic temperatures are used. Could life have evolved to exploit such delicate pheno…
