One of the central concerns of computer science is how the resources needed to perform a
given computation depend on that computation. Moreover, one of the major resource …

The ability to prepare a physical system in a desired quantum state is central to many areas
of physics such as nuclear magnetic resonance, cold atoms, and quantum computing. Yet …

We study the thermodynamic cost associated with the erasure of one bit of information over
a finite amount of time. We present a general framework for minimizing the average work …

The dissipation generated during a quasistatic thermodynamic process can be
characterised by introducing a metric on the space of Gibbs states, in such a way that …

Tremendous research efforts have been invested in exploring and designing so-called
shortcuts to adiabaticity. These are finite-time processes that produce the same final states …

A fundamental result of thermodynamic geometry is that the optimal, minimal-work protocol
that drives a nonequilibrium system between two thermodynamic states in the slow-driving …

Biomolecular simulations are typically performed in an aqueous environment where the
number of ions remains fixed for the duration of the simulation, generally with either a …

Abstract Tudor Interacting Repair Regulator (TIRR) is an RNA-binding protein (RBP) that
interacts directly with 53BP1, restricting its access to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and …

We consider an important class of self-assembly problems, and using the formalism of
stochastic thermodynamics, we derive a set of design principles for growing controlled …

Optimal control of nanomagnets has become an urgent problem for the field of spintronics as
technological tools approach thermodynamically determined limits of efficiency. In complex …
