Our Work

Information–Energetic Thermodynamics (IET)

The primary research framework of the institute is Information–Energetic Thermodynamics (IET) — a physical approach that integrates energy, information, and time into a unified analytical description of physical processes.

IET is based on the premise that the thermodynamic behavior of systems cannot be fully understood without explicitly incorporating informational structure and temporal dynamics. This framework enables the study of physical processes in terms of their reversibility, energetic efficiency, and informational constraints, across both quantum and mesoscopic regimes.

Main Research Objectives within IET

The objectives of the research include:

  • formulating dimensionless metrics that link energy, information, and time,

  • analyzing the distance of physical processes from the reversible limit,

  • identifying invariant structural relationships shared across different physical platforms,

  • extending contemporary thermodynamics to include the explicit role of information.

IET is conceived as a general analytical framework, rather than a model tied to any specific physical system.

Applications and Context of IET

Quantum Dynamics and Thermodynamic Reversibility

IET provides analytical tools for the study of quantum systems in terms of energetic costs, feedback processes, and the fundamental limits of dynamical reversibility.

Energy, Information, and Time

The research focuses on formal relationships between energy flow, changes in information, and the temporal evolution of physical systems, including their role in causality and process stability.

Mesoscopic and Nonlinear Systems

IET enables the comparison of quantum, classical, and hybrid systems using a unified metric framework that is independent of specific physical implementations.

Methodological Approach

Research within the IET framework is conducted with an emphasis on:

  • formal consistency and mathematical precision,

  • clearly defined physical assumptions,

  • experimental testability of results,

  • open scientific dialogue and critical validation.

We prioritize long-term fundamental research, aiming to establish stable theoretical foundations for future experimental and technological applications.
