Event details

We use optimal transport theory to minimize the thermodynamic cost associated with the erasure of a bit. In this way, we generalise Landauer's principle to erasure over a finite amount of time. Furthermore, we discuss its generalisation to erasure with a finite erasure error and we will look at special protocols such as majority-logic decoding
