Landauer's principle in repeated interaction systems (Q507278): Difference between revisions

In the present paper, the authors consider an adaptation of Landauer's lower bound to the peculiar discrete time dynamics of Repeated Interaction Systems (RIS). It is proved a discrete time non-unitary adiabatic theorem to approximate the reduced dynamics, in order to tackle the adiabatic limit of Landauer's bound. The saturation of Landauer's bound is related to a detailed balance condition on the repeated interaction system, reflecting the non-equilibrium nature of the RIS dynamics.
