He worked at Bell Labs. He wanted to send messages through noisy wires. He discovered that information behaves exactly like entropy.","summary":"Foundational paper establishing that information and entropy share the same mathematical structure.

He asked a simple question. Does erasing information require energy? The answer is yes. At least kT ln 2 per bit.","summary":"Established the Landauer limit: the minimum thermodynamic cost of erasing one bit of information is kT ln 2.
