Econophysics and the Landauer Principle: A Redefinition of Economic Temperature [PDF]
EntropyA redefinition of key notions in econophysics based on the Landauer principle is proposed. Marginal economic temperature is defined via the economic Landauer principle and is proportional to the minimal monetary cost associated with erasing or ...

A Programmable Mechanical Maxwell’s Demon [PDF]
Entropy, 2019 We introduce and investigate a simple and explicitly mechanical model of Maxwell’s demon—a device that interacts with a memory register (a stream of bits), a thermal reservoir (an ideal gas) and a work reservoir (a mass that can be lifted or ...

Finite-time optimization of a quantum Szilard heat engine
Physical Review ResearchWe propose a finite-time quantum Szilard engine (QSE) with a spin-1/2 quantum particle as the working substance (WS) to accelerate the operation of information engines.

Two-level system hyperpolarization with a quantum Szilard engine
By implementing a quantum Szilard engine, we show that a superconducting granular aluminum fluxonium qubit is coupled weakly to a two-level system (TLS) environment of unknown physical origin.

The harmonic quantum Szilárd engine [PDF]
American Journal of Physics, 2020 The Szilard engine is a mechanism (akin to Maxwell's demon) for converting information into energy, which seemingly violates the second law of thermodynamics.

Quantum Szilard engines with arbitrary spin [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2014 The quantum Szilard engine (QSZE) is a conceptual quantum engine for understanding the fundamental physics of quantum thermodynamics and information physics. We generalize the QSZE to an arbitrary spin case, i.e., a spin QSZE (SQSZE), and we systematically study the basic physical properties of both fermion and boson SQSZEs in a low-temperature ...

Modeling Maxwell’s demon with a microcanonical Szilard engine [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2011 Following recent work by Marathe and Parrondo [PRL, 104, 245704 (2010)], we construct a classical Hamiltonian system whose energy is reduced during the adiabatic cycling of external parameters, when initial conditions are sampled microcanonically. Combining our system with a device that measures its energy, we propose a cyclic procedure during which ...

Optimal work extraction and mutual information in a generalized Szilárd engine. [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2019 A 1929 Gedankenexperiment proposed by Szilárd, often referred to as "Szilárd's engine", has served as a foundation for computing fundamental thermodynamic bounds to information processing. While Szilárd's original box could be partitioned into two halves
