The stochastic thermodynamics of computation

DH Wolpert - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Quantum and information thermodynamics: A unifying framework based on repeated interactions

P Strasberg, G Schaller, T Brandes, M Esposito - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
We expand the standard thermodynamic framework of a system coupled to a thermal
reservoir by considering a stream of independently prepared units repeatedly put into …

Thermodynamics of modularity: Structural costs beyond the Landauer bound

AB Boyd, D Mandal, JP Crutchfield - Physical Review X, 2018 - APS
Information processing typically occurs via the composition of modular units, such as the
universal logic gates found in discrete computation circuits. The benefit of modular …

Occam's quantum strop: Synchronizing and compressing classical cryptic processes via a quantum channel

JR Mahoney, C Aghamohammadi, JP Crutchfield - Scientific reports, 2016 - nature.com
A stochastic process' statistical complexity stands out as a fundamental property: the
minimum information required to synchronize one process generator to another. How much …

Causal asymmetry in a quantum world

J Thompson, AJP Garner, JR Mahoney, JP Crutchfield… - Physical Review X, 2018 - APS
Causal asymmetry is one of the great surprises in predictive modeling: The memory required
to predict the future differs from the memory required to retrodict the past. There is a …

Experimentally modeling stochastic processes with less memory by the use of a quantum processor

MS Palsson, M Gu, J Ho, HM Wiseman, GJ Pryde - Science Advances, 2017 - science.org
Computer simulation of observable phenomena is an indispensable tool for engineering
new technology, understanding the natural world, and studying human society. However …

Information compression via hidden subgroup quantum autoencoders

F Liu, K Bian, F Meng, W Zhang, O Dahlsten - npj Quantum Information, 2024 - nature.com
We design a quantum method for classical information compression that exploits the hidden
subgroup quantum algorithm. We consider sequence data in a database with a priori …

Teaching machines to recognize neurodynamic correlates of team and team member uncertainty

RH Stevens, TL Galloway - Journal of Cognitive Engineering …, 2019 - journals.sagepub.com
We describe efforts to make humans more transparent to machines by focusing on
uncertainty, a concept with roots in neuronal populations that scales through social …

Extreme quantum memory advantage for rare-event sampling

C Aghamohammadi, SP Loomis, JR Mahoney… - Physical Review X, 2018 - APS
We introduce a quantum algorithm for memory-efficient biased sampling of rare events
generated by classical memoryful stochastic processes. Two efficiency metrics are used to …

[HTML][HTML] Using quantum theory to simplify input–output processes

J Thompson, AJP Garner, V Vedral, M Gu - npj Quantum Information, 2017 - nature.com
All natural things process and transform information. They receive environmental information
as input, and transform it into appropriate output responses. Much of science is dedicated to …
