Thermodynamics of information
By its very nature, the second law of thermodynamics is probabilistic, in that its formulation
requires a probabilistic description of the state of a system. This raises questions about the …

Quantum heat engines and refrigerators: Continuous devices
Quantum thermodynamics supplies a consistent description of quantum heat engines and
refrigerators up to a single few-level system coupled to the environment. Once the …

Quantum and information thermodynamics: A unifying framework based on repeated interactions
We expand the standard thermodynamic framework of a system coupled to a thermal
reservoir by considering a stream of independently prepared units repeatedly put into …

Extracting work from quantum measurement in Maxwell's demon engines
The essence of both classical and quantum engines is to extract useful energy (work) from
stochastic energy sources, eg, thermal baths. In Maxwell's demon engines, work extraction …

Semantic information, autonomous agency and non-equilibrium statistical physics
A Kolchinsky, DH Wolpert - Interface focus, 2018 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Shannon information theory provides various measures of so-called syntactic information,
which reflect the amount of statistical correlation between systems. By contrast, the concept …

Information Processing and the Second Law of Thermodynamics:<? format?> An Inclusive, Hamiltonian Approach
S Deffner, C Jarzynski - Physical Review X, 2013 - APS
We obtain generalizations of the Kelvin-Planck, Clausius, and Carnot statements of the
second law of thermodynamics for situations involving information processing. To this end …

Stochastic thermodynamics of bipartite systems: transfer entropy inequalities and a Maxwell's demon interpretation
We consider the stationary state of a Markov process on a bipartite system from the
perspective of stochastic thermodynamics. One subsystem is used to extract work from a …
