Quantum speed limits: from Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle to optimal quantum control (2017, methodology): “The first experiment was performed by Bérut et al. [272], where they used a single colloidal particle trapped in a time-dependent double well potential.”
Basis for a neuronal version of Grover's quantum algorithm (2014, result): “For technological systems (Bennett, 2003; Ladyman et al., 2007) and individual cells (Clark, 2010b,c,d, 2011, 2012b, 2013a; Bérut et al., 2012; Mehta and Schwab, 2012), this behavior is consistent with Landauer’s principle of energy/information transfer.”

Information Processing and the Second Law of Thermodynamics: An Inclusive Hamiltonian Approach. (2013, neutral): “[26] for an experimental treatment, Refs.”
Stochastic thermodynamics, fluctuation theorems and molecular machines (2012, background): “The mean dissipated heat indeed saturates at the Landauer bound in the limit of long erasure cycles [306].”
Thermodynamics of information (2015, background): “The new quantities İX and İY are the rates of change of the mutual information I(X;Y ) due to fluctuations in X and Y separately; they represent the dynamic flow of information between the two systems and equation (15) codifies their effect on the thermodynamics.”
Refined Second Law of Thermodynamics for Fast Random Processes (2012, methodology): “One circle concerns the stochastic version [30] of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, asserting the increase of total entropy, and the related Landauer Principle [8, 38], a reformulation of the Second Law in the framework of Thermodynamics of Computation that became a subject of recent renewed intere”
Quantum thermodynamics (2015, positive): “Another recent experiment measured the heat dissipated in an erasure process, see Section 2.3, with a colloidal silica bead that was optically trapped with tweezers in a double well potential [75].”
Limits on fundamental limits to computation (2014, background): “This principle was validated empirically in 2012 [40] and seems to motivate reversible computing [41], where all input information is preserved, incurring additional costs.”
Experiments in Stochastic Thermodynamics: Short History and Perspectives (2017, background): “[150] and shown experimentally [152], there are protocols that are intrinsically irreversible no matter how slowly they are performed.”
Stochastic Time Evolution, Information Geometry, and the Cramér-Rao Bound (2018, background): “…improved experimental techniques, allowing to probe the relation between information and thermodynamic quantities on a more detailed and microscopic level [17, 18], but also by new theoretical proposals based on understanding information as a quantity that is just as physical as matter or energy.”
Thermodynamic Unification of Optimal Transport: Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relation, Minimum Dissipation, and Thermodynamic Speed Limits (2022, result): “The finitetime correction in the Landauer principle indicated by the speed limit expression is consistent with experimental observations [81].”
Universal features in the energetics of symmetry breaking (2013, background): “The engine can be implemented with an adequate combination of SB and SR processes where the lower bound for the minimal work in equation (5) is negative.”
