The results obtained serve as fundamental principles for information processing in small thermodynamic systems, and are applicable to nanomachines and nanodevices. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aThermodynamics 615 0$aThermodynamics. 676 $a621.402 676 $a621.4021 700 $aSagawa$b Takahiro$0906912 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438118403321 996 $aThermodynamics of Information Processing in Small Systems$92028748 997 $aUNINA
