Thermodynamically-efficient local computation and the inefficiency of quantum memory compression

Modularity dissipation identifies how locally implemented computation entails costs beyond those required by Landauer's bound on thermodynamic computing. We establish a general theorem for efficient local computation, giving the necessary and sufficient conditions for a local operation to have...
