摘要
The physical cost of information erasure is considered within a new approach that regards erasure as loss of correlation between the state of an erasable quantum system and that of an enduring "referent" system holding classical information. A physical model of information erasure built on this referential picture is described in detail, and lower bounds on entropic and energetic costs are obtained from quantum dynamics and entropic inequalities alone.
