Maxwell's Demon in Quantum Mechanics. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel), 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.

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.

Hidden Dissipation and Irreversibility in Maxwell's Demon. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel), 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 ...

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 ...

Landauer's Principle in a Quantum Szilard Engine without Maxwell's Demon. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel), 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. Here we propose

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.

Thermodynamics of quantum measurement and Maxwell's demon's arrow of time [PDF]
Physical Review A, 2022 We discuss the thermodynamic aspects of a single qubit based device, powered by weak quantum measurements, and feedback controlled by a quantum Maxwell’s demon.
