Thermodynamics of Majority-Logic Decoding in Information Erasure

We investigate the performance of majority-logic decoding in both reversible and finite-time information erasure processes performed on macroscopic bits that contain N microscopic binary units. While we show that for reversible erasure protocols single-unit transformations are more efficient than ma...
