Freely communicating
Article Abstract:
An information processing theory demonstrates the possibility of highly efficient communication by using the material body as the information carrier. The strategic use of an intrinsically bistable material body with two low energy states separated by a potential-energy barrier brings down the energy investment and energy loss. The energy barrier prevents thermal hopping and quantum tunneling between the states. The theory refutes the notion of irreducibility of thermodynamic energy cost during information transmission.
