The Demon in a Vacuum Tube

open access: yesEntropy, 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 ...

Photonic Maxwell’s Demon: Feed-forward methods for photonic thermodynamic tasks [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ 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 ...

Power generator driven by Maxwell’s demon

open access: yesNature 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 ...

Nonlinear bosonic Maxwell’s demon by coupling to qubits

open access: yesCommunications Physics
The concept of Maxwell’s demon, proposed in classical physics as a means to extract work from a thermodynamics system beyond the constraints set by the second law of thermodynamics, has since been extended to modern quantum physics.

Maxwell’s Demon and Comoving Observers in General Relativity: What Do They Have in Common?

open access: yesProceedings, 2017
We elaborate on the similarities between the explanation of the well known Maxwell’s demon paradox, based on the theory of information, and the rationale behind the fact that real dissipative (entropy producing) processes may be detected by non–comoving ...

DEM simulation of the granular Maxwell’s Demon under zero gravity

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
In this work, granular segregation in a two-compartment cell (Maxwell’s Demon) under zero gravity is studied numerically by DEM simulation for comparison with the experimental observation in satellite SJ-10.

Entropic Probability and Context States [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
In a previous paper, we introduced an axiomatic system for information thermodynamics, deriving an entropy function that includes both thermodynamic and information components.

Velocity-dependent optical forces and Maxwell's demon. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Rep, 2019
An atom placed in a focused laser beam will experience a dipole force due to the gradient in the interaction energy, which is analogous to the well-known optical tweezers effect. This force will be dependent on the velocity of the atom due to the Doppler

A model of entropy production [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
A 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 ...
