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

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

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.

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.

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 ...

Power generator driven by Maxwell’s demon
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 ...

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

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.

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 ...
