The European Physical Journal Plus, 2023 RNA polymerase (RNAP) catalyzes RNA synthesis from template DNA via translocation on the DNA. The experimental value of the free energy change required for RNAP translocation exhibits an unexplainable discrepancy.

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.

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 ...

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.

Quantum Thermodynamic Cycles and quantum heat engines [PDF]
, 2006 In order to describe quantum heat engines, here we systematically study isothermal and isochoric processes for quantum thermodynamic cycles. Based on these results the quantum versions of both the Carnot heat engine and the Otto heat engine are defined ...

Conditional Action and Imperfect Erasure of Qubits. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel), 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.

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 ...

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 ...
