Dissipation and irreversibility in computing

David K Ferry, Wolfgang Porod • Materials Research Express (2023)

There has been much discussion for decades over the proper concepts of minimum dissipation per logic gate and what is required for computation, as well as early arguments over logically reversible machines. Here these arguments, and the the...

A Computational Quantum-Based Perspective on the Molecular Origins of Life’s Building Blocks

Gabriele Amante, Judit E. Sponer, Jiri Sponer, Franz Saija et al. • Entropy (2022)

The search for the chemical origins of life represents a long-standing and continuously debated enigma. Despite its exceptional complexity, in the last decades the field has experienced a revival, also owing to the exponential growth of the...

Discrimination of Non-Local Correlations

Alberto Montina, Stefan Wolf • Entropy (2019)

In view of the importance of quantum non-locality in cryptography, quantum computation, and communication complexity, it is crucial to decide whether a given correlation exhibits non-locality or not. As proved by Pitowski, this problem is N...

The pure Yang-Mills field, I: fixed time existence

James Glimm, James Glimm • Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics (2026)

The convergence of renormalized perturbation theory to all finite orders is defined and shown to be valid for the fixed time perturbation theory of a pure Yang-Mills field. Two pure Yang-Mills quantum gauge field theories are constructed, o...

The Microstructures and Electrical Resistivity of (Al, Cr, Ti)FeCoNiOx High-Entropy Alloy Oxide Thin Films

Chun-Huei Tsau, Zhang-Yan Hwang, Swe-Kai Chen • Advances in Materials Science and Engineering (2015)

The (Al, Cr, Ti)FeCoNi alloy thin films were deposited by PVD and using the equimolar targets with same compositions from the concept of high-entropy alloys. The thin films became metal oxide films after annealing at vacuum furnace for a pe...
