    Thermodynamic cost of recurrent erasure

    Model

    Our system is subjected to a sequence of erasing protocols in time. Each erasing cycle (see Fig. 1) involves a single resetting event composed of two switching processes: 1) An instantaneous jump from the resetting (or stiff) potential V(x)…

    Origin and stability of generalized Wigner crystallinity in triangular moiré systems

    Classical phase diagram and competing charge-ordered states

    To develop an intuition for the GWC problem, we first construct the classical ground state phase-competition diagram (t = 0 and U) for n = 1/3 of the Hamiltonian in Eq. (
