Photonic Maxwell's demon [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2015 We report an experimental realisation of Maxwell's demon in a photonic setup. We show that a measurement at the single-photon level followed by a feed-forward operation allows the extraction of work from intense thermal light into an electric circuit ...

Maxwell's Demon and Data Compression [PDF]
, 2011 In an asymmetric Szilard engine model of Maxwell's demon, we show the equivalence between information theoretical and thermodynamic entropies when the demon erases information optimally. The work gain by the engine can be exactly canceled out by the work

On-Chip Maxwell’s Demon as an Information-Powered Refrigerator
Physical Review Letters, 2015 We present an experimental realization of an autonomous Maxwell's Demon, which extracts microscopic information from a System and reduces its entropy by applying feedback.

Comparison of treatment technologies for highly concentrated nitrogen compound wastewater [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The flow of biogenic elements with wastewater into water bodies leads to an increase in the content of biogenic and organic compounds, a decrease in the oxygen content, the appearance of anaerobic zones, an increase in water turbidity, discoloration ...

Photonic Maxwell’s Demon: Feed-forward methods for photonic thermodynamic tasks [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022 Maxwell’s Demon is at the heart of the interrelation between quantum information processing and thermodynamics. In this thought experiment, a demon extracts work from two thermal baths at equilibrium by gaining information about them at the single ...

Predictive Maxwell's demons [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2020 Here we study the operation efficiency of a finite-size finite-response-time Maxwell's demon, who can make future predictions. We compare the heat and mass transport rate of predictive demons to non-predictive ones and find that predictive demons can achieve higher mass and heat transport rates over longer periods of time.

Adultery as sexual disorder: An exegetical study of Matthew 5:27–30
HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies, 2022 There is a prevailing notion amongst preachers of the gospel, especially those in the Pentecostal circle, that adultery is a demonic problem. Their understanding of Jesus’ statement in Matthew 5:27–30 about adultery in the heart is that for adultery to ...
