Thesis
The thermodynamics of information in nanoscale systems
- Abstract:
-
The study of nanoscale systems opens up exciting new opportunities for exploring the fundamental limits of thermodynamics. Recent theoretical and experimental progress has considerably advanced our understanding of the thermodynamics of small systems. In this thesis I build on this work by using semiconducting quantum dots (QD) devices to examine the nanoscale thermodynamics of two fundamental physical processes: timekeeping and information processing. The primary contribution of this thesis ...
