Overview
- Fundamental energy costs for information processing applications have been determined for the first time, after long and intense controversy among researchers, by unifying information theory, measurement theory, and the recently developed theory of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics
- Universal nonequilibrium relations have been generalized by bringing together information for the first time to establish fundamental principles of nonequilibrium information processing
- Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D thesis by the University of Tokyo's Physics Department as their best thesis in 2011
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
