Autonomous Maxwell's demon in a cavity QED system

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2020
We present an autonomous Maxwell's demon scheme. It is first analyzed theoretically in terms of information exchange in a closed system and then implemented experimentally with a single Rydberg atom and a high-quality microwave resonator.
