The identification of a universal law that can predict the spatiotemporal structure of any entity
at any scale has long been pursued. Thermodynamics have targeted this goal, and the …

We describe a minimal model of an autonomous Maxwell demon, a device that delivers
work by rectifying thermal fluctuations while simultaneously writing information to a memory …

We establish the fluctuation theorem in the presence of information exchange between a
nonequilibrium system and other degrees of freedom such as an observer and a feedback …

Hans-Christian Ørsted introduced the term “thought experiment” to philosophy in 1811,
although it did not get much philosophical attention until the 1980s. This is therefore a …

Landauer's Principle asserts that there is an unavoidable cost in thermodynamic entropy
creation when data is erased. It is usually derived from incorrect assumptions, most notably …

Transfer entropy is a recently introduced information-theoretic measure quantifying directed
statistical coherence between spatiotemporal processes and is widely used in diverse fields …

Commonly used rating scales and tests have been found lacking reliability and validity, for
example in neurodegenerative diseases studies, owing to not making recourse to the …

We review the basic properties of the quantum relative entropy for finite-dimensional Hilbert
spaces. In particular, we focus on several inequalities that are related to the second law of …

One finds, in Maxwell's writings on thermodynamics and statistical physics, a conception of
the nature of these subjects that differs in interesting ways from the way they are usually …

The most successful exorcism of Maxwell's demon is Smoluchowski's 1912 observation that
thermal fluctuations would likely disrupt the operation of any molecular-scale demonic …
