Bit reset protocols that obey activity-constrained speed limits do not minimize work for a given speed
Daan Mulder, Thomas E. Ouldridge, Pieter Rein ten Wolde
The goal of thermodynamic optimal control theory is to find protocols to change the state of a system from an initial to a desired final distribution, within a finite time, with th…

Exploiting bias in optimal finite-time copying protocols
Daan Mulder, Pieter Rein ten Wolde, Thomas E. Ouldridge
We study a finite-time cyclic copy protocol that creates persisting correlations between a memory and a data bit. The average work to copy the two states of the data bit consists o…
