The relationship between the thermodynamic and computational properties of physical
systems has been a major theoretical interest since at least the 19th century. It has also …

Starting at the mesoscopic level with a general formulation of stochastic thermodynamics in
terms of Markov jump processes, we identify the scaling conditions that ensure the …

Observing stochastic trajectories with rare transitions between states, practically
undetectable on time scales accessible to experiments, makes it impossible to directly …

The Gibbs distribution universally characterizes states of thermal equilibrium. In order to
extend the Gibbs distribution to non-equilibrium steady states, one must relate the self …

Maxwell's demons work by rectifying thermal fluctuations. They are not expected to function
at macroscopic scales where fluctuations become negligible and dynamics become …

The fundamental energy cost of irreversible computing is given by the Landauer bound of k
T ln 2/bit, where k is the Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature in Kelvin. However …

The latest generations of transistors are nanoscale devices whose performance and
reliability are limited by thermal noise in low-power applications. Therefore, developing …

We provide a general theory of nonlinear electronic circuits subjected to thermal noise. The
devices constituting the circuit can have arbitrary IV curves but must display shot noise. This …

We propose a rigorous SPICE simulation framework, compatible with industrial process
design kits, to observe transient bit flips in CMOS SRAM due to the intrinsic transistor noise …

An extension of fluctuation–dissipation theorem is used to derive a “speed limit” theorem for
nonlinear electronic devices. This speed limit provides a lower bound on the dissipation that …
