Identifying functional thermodynamics in autonomous Maxwellian ratchets

New Journal of Physics, 2016
We introduce a family of Maxwellian Demons for which correlations among information bearing degrees of freedom can be calculated exactly and in compact analytical form.

The Simplest Exorcism of Maxwell’s Demon: The Quantum Version

, 2014
Norton (2013, Section 4) describes how a Maxwell’s demon can be exorcised merely by considerations of the conservation of phase volume in classical physics.

EXORCIST XIV: The Wrath of Maxwell’s Demon. Part II. From Szilard to Landauer and Beyond

, 1999
In this second part of our two-part paper we review and analyse attempts since 1950 to use information theoretic notions to exorcise Maxwell’s Demon. We argue through a simple dilemma that these attempted exorcisms are ineffective, whether they follow ...

Time-Reversible Maxwell's Demon

, 1992
A time-reversible Maxwell's demon is demonstrated which creates a density difference between two chambers initialized to have equal density. The density difference is estimated theoretically and confirmed by computer simulations.

Finite-time thermodynamic bounds and trade-off relations for information processing

Physical Review Research
In thermal environments, information processing requires thermodynamic costs determined by the second law of thermodynamics. Information processing within finite time is particularly important, since fast information processing has practical significance

Quantum circuit simulation of black hole evaporation and Maxwell demon interpretation

Physics Letters B
We suggest a quantum circuit model which simulates the black-hole evaporation process. In particular, Almheiri-Marolf-Polchinski-Sully (AMPS) paradox and the ER=EPR correspondence are reconsidered regarding our proposed model, which assumes a Maxwell's ...

Metabibliographic Fiction: Metafiction After the Death of the Book in Steven Hall’s Maxwell’s Demon and Nicola Barker’s I Am Sovereign [PDF]

This essay examines the combination of an aesthetic interest in the book with metafiction’s self-reflexive literary strategies in two recent British fictions, Steven Hall’s Maxwell’s Demon (2021) and Nicola Barker’s I Am Sovereign (2019).

Information and physics

Zagadnienia Filozoficzne w Nauce, 2020
This is an overview article that contains the discussion of the connection between information and physics at the elementary level. We present a derivation of Lindauer’s bound for heat emission during irreversible logical operation.

Influence of gravity on a granular Maxwell’s demon experiment

, 2008
In the usual description of the granular Maxwell’s demon experiment, where phase separation occurs due to an instability in the densities, the control parameter scales linearly with gravity.
