Landauer's principle and non-equilibrium statistical ensembles

Abstract Landauer's principle is fundamental for the physics of information. It establishes the least amount of energy that needs to be dissipated in order to erase a bit of information. Using the Beck–Cohen representation of statistical ensemble distributions, we explore an extension of Landauer's principle to systems out of equilibrium.
