DESCRIPTION:<p>Landauer&rsquo\;s principle claims that there is a thermodynamic cost to resetting\, or erasing\, information. This forges a connection between logical and thermodynamic irreversibility that some say gives rise to a new field &ndash\; &lsquo\;the thermodynamics of computation&rsquo\; &ndash\; and that others denounce as heresy. This workshop brings together physicists and philosophers to see what new light can be shed on Landauer&rsquo\;s principle.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Who? All welcome\, but please email&nbsp\;k.e.robertson@bham.ac.uk&nbsp\;to confirm your attendance for catering purposes.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Schedule</p>\n<p>9.30-10.00 Katie Robertson (University of Birmingham) &ndash\; Welcome + Introduction</p>\n<p>10.00-11.15 Orly Shenker (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) &ndash\; &ldquo\;Landauer&rsquo\;s Principle: What exactly does it say?&rdquo\;</p>\n<p><em>11.15 Coffee</em></p>\n<p>11.30-12.45 Wayne Myrvold (University of Western Ontario) &ndash\; &ldquo\;Shakin&rsquo\; all over: proving Landauer&rsquo\;s Principle without neglect of fluctuations.&rdquo\;</p>\n<p><em>12.45-2.15 Lunch&nbsp\;</em></p>\n<p>2.15-3.30 Tony Short &ndash\; &ldquo\;Landauer&rsquo\;s principle in quantum thermodynamics.&rdquo\;</p>\n<p><em>3.30-3.45 Coffee</em></p>\n<p>3.45-5.00 Sam Fletcher (University of Minnesota)- &ldquo\;Reversible computation undermines and vindicates Landauer&rsquo\;s Principle.&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>5.00 &ndash\; James Ladyman (University of Bristol) &ndash\; Closing comments&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><em>7.30pm Dinner&nbsp\;</em></p>\n<p>Thank you to the Leverhulme Trust and European Research Council\, who have funded this workshop through an Early Career Grant\, and the project&nbsp\;<em>A Framework for Metaphysical Explanation in Physics</em>&nbsp\;(FraMEPhys)\, which received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union&rsquo\;s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement no. 757295)</p>
