Landauerprincipe
Landauer's principle, named after physicist Rolf Landauer, is a fundamental concept in thermodynamics and information theory. It states that the erasure of information from a system requires a corresponding increase in entropy, which in turn necessitates the dissipation of energy as heat. Specifically, the principle quantifies the minimum amount of energy that must be dissipated when a bit of information is irrevocably erased.
This energy dissipation is a consequence of the second law of thermodynamics. When information is erased, the
Landauer's principle has significant implications for the limits of computation. It suggests that there is a
