Information-to-work conversion by Maxwell’s demon in a superconducting circuit quantum electrodynamical system [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Maxwell’s demon is a hypothetical character that uses information about a system to reduce its entropy, highlighting the link between information and thermodynamic entropies. Here the authors experimentally realise a Maxwell's demon controlling a quantum

Power generator driven by Maxwell’s demon [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 The study of Maxwell's demon provides a link between information thermodynamics and modern electronics. Using integrated nanometer-scale transistors in a single electron box configuration, Chidaet al., demonstrate the extraction of electrical power by ...

Hidden Dissipation and Irreversibility in Maxwell’s Demon [PDF]
Entropy, 2022 Maxwell’s demon is an entity in a 150-year-old thought experiment that paradoxically appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics by reducing entropy without doing work.

Tuning up Maxwell's demon. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2021 Within just a couple of decades, Maxwell’s demon has gone from being one of the most fundamental and intriguing Gedankenexperiments in physics—but one that appeared impossible to imagine in practice—to being a real setup in several laboratories around ...

On-Chip Maxwell’s Demon as an Information-Powered Refrigerator [PDF]
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.

A Programmable Mechanical Maxwell’s Demon [PDF]
Entropy, 2019 We introduce and investigate a simple and explicitly mechanical model of Maxwell’s demon—a device that interacts with a memory register (a stream of bits), a thermal reservoir (an ideal gas) and a work reservoir (a mass that can be lifted or ...

Maxwell’s Demon and the Problem of Observers in General Relativity [PDF]
Entropy, 2018 The fact that real dissipative (entropy producing) processes may be detected by non-comoving observers (tilted), in systems that appear to be isentropic for comoving observers, in general relativity, is explained in terms of the information theory ...

Landauer’s Principle in a Quantum Szilard Engine without Maxwell’s Demon [PDF]
Entropy, 2020 Quantum Szilard engine constitutes an adequate interplay of thermodynamics, information theory and quantum mechanics. Szilard engines are in general operated by a Maxwell’s Demon where Landauer’s principle resolves the apparent paradoxes ...

N-States Continuous Maxwell Demon [PDF]
Entropy, 2023 Maxwell’s demon is a famous thought experiment and a paradigm of the thermodynamics of information. It is related to Szilard’s engine, a two-state information-to-work conversion device in which the demon performs single measurements and extracts work ...

Enhanced Photonic Maxwell's Demon with Correlated Baths [PDF]
Quantum, 2022 Maxwell's Demon is at the heart of the interrelation between quantum information processing and thermodynamics. In this thought experiment, a demon generates a temperature gradient between two thermal baths initially at equilibrium by gaining information
