Landauer Bound and Carnot Engines in Quantum Information Theory - Tutorial 5

Learn about the Landauer bound and its relationship to Carnot engines in this advanced quantum information theory tutorial from ETH Zurich. Explore fundamental concepts including the derivation of the Landauer bound for a Carnot engine and understand the second law of thermodynamics through entropic arguments. Led by lecturer Ralph Silva and teaching assistant Nuriya Nurgalieva, this 71-minute session is part of a comprehensive quantum information theory course offered through Schools for Quantum Information Development (SQuID). Gain deep insights into the intersection of quantum mechanics, information theory, and thermodynamics through detailed theoretical discussions and mathematical derivations.
