“…In particular, as we go towards the advent of quantum devices across various platforms like atoms and ions in optical traps [6], molecular junctions [7], quantum dots [8], hybrid semiconductor-superconductor circuits [9,10], nitrogenvacancy centers in diamonds [11] etc., it has become necessary to understand the energy and the entropy cost of such applications [12,13]. These devices are inherently noisy because complete isolation from surrounding environment is neither possible at such small length scales, nor desired in many applications.…”
