Maxwell's demon and information channel width of a black hole
Using a new generalized second law of thermodynamics, the information and entropy of a black hole and its accretion disk are analyzed respectively. We find the bound of the information channel width of a black hole, which is determined by the variation rate of the horizon temperature and the mass of the black hole’s shell (the accretion disk close to the horizon).
متن کاملA Modified Szilard's Engine: Measurement, Information, and Maxwell's Demon
Using an isolated measurement process, I’ve calculated the effect measurement has on entropy for the multi-cylinder Szilard engine. This calculation shows that the system of cylinders possesses an entropy associated with cylinder total energy states, and that it records information transferred at measurement. Contrary to other’s results, I’ve found that the apparatus loses entropy due to measur...
متن کاملMaxwell's Demon and the Entropy Cost of Information
We present an analysis of Szilard's one-molecule Maxwell's demon, including a detailed entropy accounting, that suggests a general theory of the entropy cost of information. It is shown that the entropy of the demon increases during the expansion step, due to the decoupling of the molecule from the measurement information. It is also shown that there is an entropy symmetry between the measureme...
متن کاملColloquium: The physics of Maxwell’s demon and information
Maxwell’s demon was born in 1867 and still thrives in modern physics. He plays important roles in clarifying the connections between two theories: thermodynamics and information. Here the history of the demon and a variety of interesting consequences of the second law of thermodynamics are presented, mainly in quantum mechanics, but also in the theory of gravity. Also highlighted are some of th...
متن کاملValue and information: A profit maximizing strategy for Maxwell's demon
Applications of Lagrange's method of undetermined multipliers in physics and economics suggest some analogies between the two disciplines. By using the work of E. T. Jaynes on information theory, the long standing problem of Maxwell's demon in thermodynamics can be cast as a constrained optimization problem where information and energy are dual concepts. Temperature emerges as the energetic pri...
