Landauer’s Principle in a Quantum Szilard Engine without Maxwell’s Demon [PDF]
Entropy, 2020 Quantum Szilard engine constitutes an adequate interplay of thermodynamics, information theory and quantum mechanics. Szilard engines are in general operated by a Maxwell’s Demon where Landauer’s principle resolves the apparent paradoxes ...

Information Thermodynamics of the Cell Signal Transduction as a Szilard Engine [PDF]
Entropy, 2018 A cell signaling system is in a non-equilibrium state, and it includes multistep biochemical signaling cascades (BSCs), which involve phosphorylation of signaling molecules, such as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways.

Influence of the seed of measurement on the work extracted in a quantum Szilard engine [PDF]
iScience, 2023 Summary: We investigate the influence of the seed of measurement on the performance of a Szilard engine based on a two-mode Gaussian state evolving in a noisy channel.

Quantum Szilard engine for the fractional power-law potentials [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 In this study, we consider the quantum Szilárd engine with a single particle under the fractional power-law potential. We suggest that such kind of the Szilárd engine works a Stirling-like cycle.

Experimental realization of a Szilard engine with a single electron [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2014 Significance A Maxwell demon makes use of information to convert thermal energy of a reservoir into work. A quantitative example is a thought experiment known as a Szilard engine, which uses one bit of information about the position of a thermalized ...

Electrical Maxwell demon and Szilard engine utilizing Johnson noise, measurement, logic and control. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 We introduce a purely electrical version of Maxwell's demon which does not involve mechanically moving parts such as trapdoors, etc. It consists of a capacitor, resistors, amplifiers, logic circuitry and electronically controlled switches and uses ...

A quantum Szilard engine without heat from a thermal reservoir [PDF]
New Journal of Physics, 2017 We study a quantum Szilard engine that is not powered by heat drawn from a thermal reservoir, but rather by projective measurements. The engine is constituted of a system ${ \mathcal S }$ , a weight ${ \mathcal W }$ , and a Maxwell demon ${ \mathcal D }$

Many-body Szilárd engine with giant number fluctuations
Physical Review Research, 2023 Szilárd's information engine is a canonical example in the field of thermodynamics of information. We realize experimentally a macroscopic many-particle Szilárd engine that consists of active particles and use it to lift a mass against gravity.

One-particle engine with a porous piston [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 We propose a variation of the classical Szilard engine that uses a porous piston. Such an engine requires neither information about the position of the particle, nor the removal and subsequent insertion of the piston when resetting the engine to continue
