Stochastic Thermodynamics of Nonlinear Electronic Circuits: A Realistic Framework for Computing Around kT

We provide a general theory of nonlinear electronic circuits subjected to thermal noise. The devices constituting the circuit can have arbitrary I-V curves but must display shot noise. This theory includes tunnel junctions, diodes, and MOS transistors in subthreshold operation, among others. The sto...
