Irreversible entropy production: From classical to quantum
Entropy production is a key quantity in any finite-time thermodynamic process. It is intimately
tied with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, embodying a tool to extend …

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 …

Experimental verification of Landauer's principle linking information and thermodynamics
Abstract In 1961, Rolf Landauer argued that the erasure of information is a dissipative

Equalities and inequalities: Irreversibility and the second law of thermodynamics at the nanoscale
C Jarzynski - Time: Poincaré Seminar 2010, 2012 - Springer
The reason we never observe violations of the second law of thermodynamics is a matter of
statistics: When very many degrees of freedom are involved, the odds are overwhelmingly …

Experimental demonstration of information-to-energy conversion and validation of the generalized Jarzynski equality
Abstract In 1929, Leó Szilárd invented a feedback protocol in which a hypothetical
intelligence—dubbed Maxwell's demon—pumps heat from an isothermal environment and …

Catalytic coherence
J Åberg - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
Because of conservation of energy we cannot directly turn a quantum system with a definite
energy into a superposition of different energies. However, if we have access to an …
