Black Hole and Quantum Szilárd Heat Engines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
This report explores the properties of two unusual heat engines. The first, the black hole engine, operates between two thermal reservoirs consisting of black holes and extracts energy from the emitted Hawking radiation.

Maxwell’s Demon Is Foiled by the Entropy Cost of Measurement, Not Erasure

open access: yesFoundations
I dispute the conventional claim that the second law of thermodynamics is saved from a “Maxwell’s demon” by the entropy cost of information erasure and show that instead it is measurement that incurs the entropy cost.

A theoretical model of multi-agent quantum computing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The best design for practical quantum computing is one that emulates the multi-agent quantum logic function of natural biological systems. Such systems are theorized to be based upon a quantum gate formed by a nucleic acid Szilard engine (NASE) that ...

Study of the phase dynamics in moderately damped Josephson junctions and its applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The observation of macroscopic quantum tunneling (MQT) manifests the quantumness of macroscopic variables, such as the phase difference across a Josephson junction (JJ).

Leveraging Machine Learning to Gain Insights on Quantum Thermodynamic Entropy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
We present a thermodynamic analysis of a quantum engine that uses a single quantum particle as its working fluid, inspired by Szilard's classical single-particle engine.

Experimental Observation of the Role of Mutual Information in the Nonequilibrium Dynamics of a Maxwell Demon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We validate experimentally a fluctuation relation known as generalized Jarzynski equality governing the work distribution in a feedback-controlled system.
