We present several new results on minimal space requirements to recognize a nonregular language: (i) realtime nondeterministic Turing machines can recognize a nonregular unary language within weak $\log\log n$ space, (ii) $\log\log n$ is a…

Thermodynamic trade-off relations dictate fundamental limits on the performance of thermodynamic tasks through costs such as heat dissipation. Here, we propose a framework called thermodynamic recycling to circumvent these limits in quantum…

Deterministic one-way time-bounded multi-counter automata are studied with respect to their ability to perform reversible computations, which means that the automata are also backward deterministic and, thus, are able to uniquely step the…

How much free energy is irreversibly lost during a thermodynamic process? For deterministic protocols, lower bounds on energy dissipation arise from the thermodynamic friction associated with pushing a system out of equilibrium in finite…

We initiate the systematic study of the energy complexity of algorithms (in addition to time and space complexity) based on Landauer's Principle in physics, which gives a lower bound on the amount of energy a system must dissipate if it…

Near zero-energy computing describes the concept of executing logic operations below the (kBT ln 2) energy limit. Landauer discussed that it is impossible to break this limit as long as the computations are performed in the conventional,…

Quantum operations provide a general description of the state changes allowed by quantum mechanics. The reversal of quantum operations is important for quantum error-correcting codes, teleportation, and reversing quantum measurements. We…

We examine a model of classical deterministic computing in which the ground state of the classical system is a spatial history of the computation. This model is relevant to quantum dot cellular automata as well as to recent universal…

Parametric timed automata (PTA) extend timed automata with unknown constants ("parameters"), at the price of undecidability of most interesting problems. The (untimed) language preservation problem ("given a parameter valuation, can we find…

Quantum complexity measures the difficulty of realizing a quantum process, such as preparing a state or implementing a unitary. We present an approach to quantifying the thermodynamic resources required to implement a process if the…

Weighted automata are non-deterministic automata where the transitions are equipped with weights. They can model quantitative aspects of systems like costs or energy consumption. The value of a run can be computed, for example, as the…
