Minimal energy cost to initialize a bit with tolerable error

Minimal energy cost to initialize a bit with tolerable error

Landauer's principle imposes a fundamental limit on the energy cost to perfectly initialize a classical bit, which is only reached under the ideal operation with infinitely long time. The question on the cost in the practical operation for a bit has been raised under the constraint by the finiteness of …
