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 ...

New fluctuation theorems on Maxwell's demon. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2021 Because of dissipative information, Maxwell’s demon can extract less work or generate more heat than expected. With increasing interest in the control of systems at the nano- and mesoscopic scales, studies have been focused on the limit of the energy ...

Harnessing Maxwell's demon to establish a macroscale concentration gradient. [PDF]
Nat ChemMaxwell’s demon describes a thought experiment in which a ‘demon’ regulates the flow of particles between two adjoining spaces, establishing a potential gradient without appearing to do work.

Maxwell’s Demon in Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
Entropy, 2020 Maxwell’s Demon is a thought experiment devised by J. C. Maxwell in 1867 in order to show that the Second Law of thermodynamics is not universal, since it has a counter-example. Since the Second Law is taken by many to provide an arrow of time, the

Autonomous Dissipative Maxwell’s Demon in a Diamond Spin Qutrit [PDF]
PRX Quantum, 2022 Engineered dynamical maps combining coherent and dissipative transformations of quantum states with quantum measurements have demonstrated a number of technological applications, and promise to be a crucial tool in quantum thermodynamic processes.

Sorting ultracold atoms in a three-dimensional optical lattice in a realization of Maxwell’s demon [PDF]
Nature, 2018 In 1872, Maxwell proposed his famous ‘demon’ thought experiment1. By discerning which particles in a gas are hot and which are cold, and then performing a series of reversible actions, Maxwell’s demon could rearrange the particles into a manifestly lower-

Genomic-Thermodynamic Phase Synchronization: Maxwell's Demon-like Regulation of Cell Fate Transition. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciDynamic criticality - the balance between order and chaos - is fundamental to genome regulation and cellular transitions. In this study, we investigate the distinct behaviors of gene expression dynamics in MCF-7 breast cancer cells under two stimuli ...

Maxwell's Demon and Data Compression [PDF]
Physical Review E, 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

Maxwell's demon across the quantum-to-classical transition [PDF]
Physical Review ResearchIn scenarios coined Maxwell's demon, information on microscopic degrees of freedom is used to seemingly violate the second law of thermodynamics. This has been studied in the classical as well as the quantum domain.

Measurement-Based Quantum Thermal Machines with Feedback Control [PDF]
Entropy, 2023 We investigated coupled-qubit-based thermal machines powered by quantum measurements and feedback. We considered two different versions of the machine: (1) a quantum Maxwell’s demon, where the coupled-qubit system is connected to a detachable single ...
