How Thermodynamics and Quantum Mechanics Limit Electronic Computation?

Fayez Fok Al Adeh

Published Jan 1, 2017• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

In this communication new concept like the degree of assignment, the mass specific degree of assignment and a dynamic computer were introduced using concepts like second law of thermodynamics, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle and entropy. The result formulated asserts that electronic computations are not out of the grasp of the second law of thermodynamics. Using Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle it is concluded that the total mass equivalent of the energy that is invested in signals communicating different elements of the computer cannot exceed the total mass of the system. While discussing quantum mechanical description main properties of algorithms and floating point numbers were used to provide a reasonable argument in favor of the wave interpretation of quantum mechanics as compared with other interpretations of quantum mechanics.

A Short Note on QuantumMechanics

Ramineni Sharath Kumar

In this communication new conception similar to the degree of assignment, the mass specific degree of assignment and a dynamic computer were introduced victimization ideas like second law of natural science, Heisenberg’s theory and entropy. The result developed asserts that electronic computations do not appear to be out of the grasp of the second law of natural science. Victimization Heisenberg’s theory it’s finished that the mass equivalent of the energy that is blessed with in signals act wholly completely different elements of the computer cannot exceed the mass of the system. Whereas discussing quantum mechanical description main properties of algorithms and floating purpose numbers were accustomed provide a reasonable argument in favor of the wave interpretation of natural philosophy as compared with completely different interpretations of natural philosophy

Thermodynamic and Quantum Mechanical Limitations of Electronic Computation

Fayez Fok Al Adeh

The role of entropy and uncertainty in electronic computations is used to derive a fundamental thermodynamic equation. The thermodynamic limitations of electronic computations are expressed in terms of macroscopic disorder, while quantum mechanical limitations are formulated through uncertainty relationships. Electronic computations are described quantum-mechanically, and hence provide a reasonable argument in favour of the wave interpretation of quantum mechanics.

The Laws of Thermodynamics: A Necessary Complement to Quantum Physics

Elias P. Gyftopoulos, George Hatsopoulos

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the hypothesis that the second law of thermodynamics and its corollaries are manifestations of microscopic quantum effects of the same nature but more general than those described by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This hypothesis is new to physics. Energy is a property of matter that has unified our understanding of physical phenomena. It appears prominently in both mechanical and thermodynamic theories. It is defined by the first law of thermodynamics, and its conservation is one of the keystones of analyses of both microscopic and macroscopic phenomena. Adiabatic availability--the amount of work that can be extracted from a system adiabatically--is also a property of matter but has not been accepted with the same unanimity as energy. Experience, especially with large bodies, indicates that not all the energy of a system is available in the form of work. For a given system, say atoms

Entropy Constrained Knowledge Principle

Sanctus, J, Varda, Shubhang

We often marvel at the beautiful randomness in quantum mechanics, but what if it is simply entropy fulfilling its role as dictated by causality? This paper explores the idea that Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle may not represent an intrinsic limitation, but rather a thermodynamic outcome, a cost we pay for achieving precision. We examine Gaussian wavefunctions, investigate entropic uncertainty, and demonstrate that increased knowledge of one variable (such as position) leads to a corresponding increase in entropy in its complementary variable (such as momentum). Nature does not conceal the truth; rather, the process of acquiring knowledge alters the equilibrium. By associating entropy with quantum uncertainty, we are not simply reinterpreting mathematics; We are redefining the implications of quantum indeterminacy. Perhaps the universe is not inherently uncertain; it is simply economical with certainty. We propose that the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle can be interpreted through the concept of entropy, framing it as an emergent characteristic of the system’s overall information content rather than merely a constraint imposed by quantum mechanics. Investigating this relationship may yield profound insights into the essence of quantum systems and their relationship with the macroscopic realm governed by thermodynamics. This paper offers both a philosophical and mathematical framework that unifies the ideas of entropy and uncertainty, providing a novel viewpoint on one of the most essential principles of quantum mechanics. By analyzing the influence of entropy on quantum uncertainty, this study contests traditional interpretations and encourages a renewed dialogue regarding the foundational principles of physics. It posits that uncertainty transcends mere measurement concerns and may be embedded in the very structure of the universe, prompting a reevaluation of how quantum mechanics integrates into the wider context of physical laws.

Quantum State Thermodynamics Entropy Increase Principle and the Limits of Quantum Computing

Jincheng Zhang

This paper investigates the limits of quantum computing by applying the entropy increase principle from quantum state thermodynamics. We analyze the fundamental challenges posed by energy dissipation and information loss during quantum computations, leveraging the second law of thermodynamics. Specifically, we explore the implications of entropy generation on quantum coherence and fidelity, and propose theoretical frameworks for mitigating these effects. The core argument centers on demonstrating that inherent entropy generation processes, when unchecked, inevitably lead to the degradation of quantum states and ultimately limit the scalability of quantum computers. We formulate key mathematical expressions relating entropy generation rates to quantum gate operations and decoherence models. The analysis reveals that while quantum computation offers potential advantages, a thorough understanding and strategic management of entropy are crucial for realizing its full potential. The work highlights the necessity of robust error correction and innovative quantum architectures designed to minimize entropy generation. Furthermore, we explore the theoretical boundaries imposed by the second law of thermodynamics on the achievable fidelity of quantum computations.

Quantum speed limits: from Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle to optimal quantum control

Sebastian Deffner, Steve Campbell

Abstract One of the most widely known building blocks of modern physics is Heisenberg’s indeterminacy principle. Among the different statements of this fundamental property of the full quantum mechanical nature of physical reality, the uncertainty relation for energy and time has a special place. Its interpretation and its consequences have inspired continued research efforts for almost a century. In its modern formulation, the uncertainty relation is understood as setting a fundamental bound on how fast any quantum system can evolve. In this topical review we describe important milestones, such as the Mandelstam–Tamm and the Margolus–Levitin bounds on the quantum speed limit , and summarise recent applications in a variety of current research fields—including quantum information theory, quantum computing, and quantum thermodynamics amongst several others. To bring order and to provide an access point into the many different notions and concepts, we have grouped the various approaches into the minimal time approach and the geometric approach , where the former relies on quantum control theory, and the latter arises from measuring the distinguishability of quantum states. Due to the volume of the literature, this topical review can only present a snapshot of the current state-of-the-art and can never be fully comprehensive. Therefore, we highlight but a few works hoping that our selection can serve as a representative starting point for the interested reader.
