Nonequilibrium phase transitions in feedback-controlled three-dimensional particle dynamics
Physical Review Research, 2023 We consider point particles moving inside spherical urns connected by cylindrical channels whose axes both lie along the horizontal direction. The microscopic dynamics differ from that of standard 3D billiards because of a kind of Maxwell's demon that ...

A Collision Between Dynamics and Thermodynamics
Entropy, 2004 : Philosophers of science have found the literature surrounding Maxwell's demon deeply problematic. This paper explains why, summarizing various philosophical complaints and adding to them.

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 ...

Alternative experimental ways to access entropy production
Physical Review Research, 2021 We theoretically derive and experimentally compare several different ways to access entropy production in a quantum process under feedback control. We focus on a bipartite quantum system realizing an autonomous Maxwell's demon scheme reported by Najera ...

Autonomous Maxwell's demon in a cavity QED system
Physical Review Research, 2020 We present an autonomous Maxwell's demon scheme. It is first analyzed theoretically in terms of information exchange in a closed system and then implemented experimentally with a single Rydberg atom and a high-quality microwave resonator.

A Friendly Guide to Exorcising Maxwell’s Demon
PRX QuantumThe birth, life, and death of Maxwell’s demon provoked a profound discussion about the interplay between thermodynamics, computation, and information. Even after its resolution, the demon continues to inspire a multidisciplinary field.

Conditional Action and Imperfect Erasure of Qubits
Entropy, 2021 We consider state changes in quantum theory due to “conditional action” and relate these to the discussion of entropy decrease due to interventions of “intelligent beings” and the principles of Szilard and Landauer/Bennett.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract In a time of extensive global biodiversity loss, conservation efforts increasingly rely on high‐resolution, accurate, up‐to‐date habitat maps to guide decision‐making and strategic interventions. Many products have been developed in response, using machine learning (ML) methods to automate habitat classification, often relying on satellite ...

Language Individuation and Marker Words: Shakespeare and His Maxwell's Demon. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND:Within the structural and grammatical bounds of a common language, all authors develop their own distinctive writing styles. Whether the relative occurrence of common words can be measured to produce accurate models of authorship is of ...
