Abstract
A form of Landauer’s Principle is shown to hold for thermal systems by reference to the joint entropy associated with conjugate observables. It is shown that the source of the compensating entropy for irreversible physical processes is due to the irreducible uncertainty attending values of such mutually incompatible observables. The relevant irreversibility is argued to be that of quantum measurement rather than erasure of classical memory devices, as commonly assumed.
