Researchers discover a unique quantum effect in information erasure – ScienceDaily – AlKhaleej Today

Researchers at Trinity College Dublin have discovered a unique quantum effect in information erasure that can have a significant impact on the design of quantum computer chips. Their surprising discovery brings to life the paradoxical Maxwell demon that has plagued physicists for over 150 years. The thermodynamics of calculation came to the fore in 1961 when Rolf Landauer, then at IBM, discovered a connection between heat dissipation and logically irreversible operations. Landauer is known for t…
