Entropy, 2013 In the present paper, several issues concerning the second law of thermodynamics, Maxwell’s demon and Landauer’s principle are dealt with. I argue that if the demon and the system on which it operates without dissipation of external energy are made of ...

Entropic Probability and Context States [PDF]
EntropyIn a previous paper, we introduced an axiomatic system for information thermodynamics, deriving an entropy function that includes both thermodynamic and information components.

A model of entropy production [PDF]
Scientific ReportsA key tenet of the Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is the idea that photon absorption localizes the absorbing material system. In doing so, it measures the location of the absorber and hence reduces information entropy which in turn ...

Photonic Maxwell’s Demon: Feed-forward methods for photonic thermodynamic tasks [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022 Maxwell’s Demon is at the heart of the interrelation between quantum information processing and thermodynamics. In this thought experiment, a demon extracts work from two thermal baths at equilibrium by gaining information about them at the single ...

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

Maxwell's demon-like nonreciprocity by non-Hermitian gyrotropic metasurfaces
Physical Review Research, 2021 We show that Maxwell's demon-like nonreciprocity can be supported in a class of non-Hermitian gyrotropic metasurfaces in the linear regime. The proposed metasurface functions as a transmission-only Maxwell's demon operating at a pair of photon energies ...

Designing autonomous Maxwell's demon via stochastic resetting
Physical Review Research, 2023 Autonomous Maxwell's demon is a new type of information engine proposed by Mandal and Jarzynski [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 109, 11641 (2012)0027-842410.1073/pnas.1204263109], which can produce work by exploiting an information tape.

Autonomous Dissipative Maxwell’s Demon in a Diamond Spin Qutrit
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.

Unravelling The Threads of Enigma: Entropy, Maxwell's Demon, and Communication in 'The Crying of Lot 49 [PDF]
International Journal of Practical and Pedagogical Issues in English EducationThomas Pynchon is a great postmodernist writer whose The Crying of Lot 49 mixes postmodern elements and modern physics in an ironic way. In The Crying of Lot 49, the concepts of entropy and Maxwell's demon play a significant role in understanding the ...
