In this paper we present an analysis of information transfer based on Landauer s principle (i.e., erasure of information is associated with an increase in entropy), as well as considerations of analyticity and causality. We demonstrate that holomorphic functions allowing complete analytic continuation cannot propagate any information, such that information transfer only occurs with analytic fun...

We derive semiclassical expressions for the Kubo conductivity tensor. Within our approach the oscillatory parts of the diagonal and Hall conductivity are given as sums over contributions from classical periodic orbits in close relation to Gutzwiller’s trace formula for the density of states. Taking into account the effects of weak disorder and temperature we reproduce recently observed anomalou...

Landauer principle provides a link between Shannon information entropy and Clausius thermodynamical entropy. We set up here a basic formula for the incremental free energy of a quantum channel, possibly relative to infinite systems, naturally arising by an Operator Algebraic point of view. By the Tomita-Takesaki modular theory, we can indeed describe a canonical evolution associated with a quan...

This is the third in a series of three papers devoted to energy flow and entropy changes in chemical and biological processes, and their relations to the thermodynamics of computation. The previous two papers have developed reversible chemical transformations as idealizations for studying physiology and natural selection, and derived bounds from the second law of thermodynamics, between informa...

form-centered reading is a trend which has existed among muslim critics long ago and been reflected further as “formalist” in modern era. such type of view about a textinvestigates it as a linguistic innovation. from formalists' point of view, a literary text contains a fundamental elementcalled text literature which a literate can achieve it through different mechanisms which itself gives...
