- Abstract: Measurements can be viewed as interactions between systems and specifically
prepared pointers. Ideally, these interactions create accurate copies of the
information corresponding to the diagonal of the system's density operator with
respect to the measurement basis. However, establishing measurement outcomes as
objective facts requires redundancy. We therefore consider the problem of
unitarily distributing this information to several quantum memories. We show
that the accuracy of this broadcasting process is limited by thermodynamic
restrictions on preparing the memories in pure states: ideal broadcasting is
impossible using finite resources. For finite-temperature memories we put
forward a lower bound on the entropy production of the broadcasting process.
This Holevo-Landauer bound demonstrates that the mixedness of the initial
memory limits the ability to accurately broadcast information to more than one
memory component, thus fundamentally restricting the creation of redundancies
while maintaining the integrity of the original information. Finally, we show
how the full information can be recovered in the classical limit -- via
coarse-graining or asymptotically as the number of subsystems of each memory
component increases -- thus elucidating how objective properties can emerge
despite inherent imperfections.

We explore entanglement distribution using quantum repeaters with optimized buffer time.
We observe that increasing the number of memories on end nodes leads to a higher entanglement distribution rate per memory.
When imperfect operations are considered, however, we make the surprising observation that the per-memory entanglement rate decreases with increasing number of memories.

We establish a fundamental limit on the accuracy achievable with a given amount of nonequilibrium resources.
The limit applies to arbitrary information processing tasks and arbitrary information processing systems subject to the laws of quantum mechanics.
As an application, we establish the optimal tradeoff between nonequilibrium and accuracy for the fundamental tasks of storing, transmitting, cloning, and erasing information.
