AI 中文摘要
现代制造技术使人工系统能在纳米长度尺度构建。热力学原用于描述大型宏观系统，其概念需修正以描述更小系统，这影响我们对熵、冷却、时间箭头、热流、引擎、擦除及互信息的理解。理论概念已在众多实验中实施和测试，许多在低温下进行。纳米尺度热力学不仅是纳米系统描述工具，更是帮助构建新架构、处理器和学习机器的设计原则。
英文摘要
Modern fabrication techniques have allowed artificial systems to be constructed on a nanometre length scale. The ideas underlying thermodynamics, a field invented to describe large macroscopic systems, need to be modified to describe much smaller systems. There are implications for our understanding of entropy, cooling, the arrow of time, heat flow, engines, erasure, and mutual information. The theoretical concepts have been implemented and tested in a wide range of experiments, many of which are at low temperatures. Nanoscale thermodynamics is not only a descriptive tool of nanoscale systems, but a design principle that helps us to build new architectures, processors and learning machines.
