DESCRIPTION:Dr Philippe FAIST\, Caltech\nModern information-theoretic appr
 oaches provide a promising avenue for extending the laws of thermodynamics
  to the nano scale. Using such techniques\, we derive a fundamental minima
 l thermodynamic cost of information processing. Our result is expressed in
  terms of a new measure of information\, the coherent relative entropy\, w
 hich obeys natural properties and reveals additional structure in the fami
 ly of one-shot entropy measures. Our approach sheds light on the role of t
 he observer in thermodynamics\, thus allowing to systematically analyze Ma
 xwell demon-type situations\, and providing a step forward in understandin
 g the extent of the universality of thermodynamics. We illustrate our resu
 lts using a simple optomechanical setup.   A preprint is available at: ht
