Thermodynamics of information

JMR Parrondo, JM Horowitz, T Sagawa - Nature physics, 2015 - nature.com
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 …

The role of quantum information in thermodynamics—a topical review

J Goold, M Huber, A Riera, L Del Rio… - Journal of Physics A …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
This topical review article gives an overview of the interplay between quantum information
theory and thermodynamics of quantum systems. We focus on several trending topics …

Quantum and information thermodynamics: A unifying framework based on repeated interactions

P Strasberg, G Schaller, T Brandes, M Esposito - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
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 …

Theory of cross phenomena and their coefficients beyond Onsager theorem

ZK Liu - Materials Research Letters, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
Cross phenomena, representing responses of a system to external stimuli, are ubiquitous
from quantum to macro scales. The Onsager theorem is often used to describe them, stating …

Irreversibility in active matter systems: Fluctuation theorem and mutual information

L Dabelow, S Bo, R Eichhorn - Physical Review X, 2019 - APS
We consider a Brownian particle which, in addition to being in contact with a thermal bath, is
driven by fluctuating forces which stem from active processes in the system, such as self …

Observing a quantum Maxwell demon at work

N Cottet, S Jezouin, L Bretheau… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
In apparent contradiction to the laws of thermodynamics, Maxwell's demon is able to
cyclically extract work from a system in contact with a thermal bath, exploiting the information …

Thermodynamics with continuous information flow

JM Horowitz, M Esposito - Physical Review X, 2014 - APS
We provide a unified thermodynamic formalism describing information transfers in
autonomous as well as nonautonomous systems described by stochastic thermodynamics …

Extracting work from quantum measurement in Maxwell's demon engines

C Elouard, D Herrera-Martí, B Huard, A Auffeves - Physical Review Letters, 2017 - APS
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 …

Estimating entropy production by machine learning of short-time fluctuating currents

S Otsubo, S Ito, A Dechant, T Sagawa - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) are the inequalities which give lower bounds
on the entropy production rate using only the mean and the variance of fluctuating currents …

Stochastic time evolution, information geometry, and the Cramér-Rao bound

S Ito, A Dechant - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
We investigate the connection between the time evolution of averages of stochastic
quantities and the Fisher information and its induced statistical length. As a consequence of …
