Thermodynamics and information have intricate interrelations. Often thermodynamics is considered to be the logical premise to justify that information is physical - through Landauer's principle -, thereby also linking information and…

Recent analyses have calculated the minimal thermodynamic work required to perform a computation pi when two conditions hold: the output of pi is independent of its input (e.g., as in bit erasure); we use a physical computer C to implement…
