Thermodynamics of feedback controlled systems.
We compute the entropy reduction in feedback controlled systems due to the repeated operation of the controller. This was the lacking ingredient to establish the thermodynamics of these systems, and in particular of Maxwell's demons. We illustrate some of the consequences of our general results by deriving the maximum work that can be extracted from isothermal feedback controlled systems. As a ...
متن کاملMaximum work extraction and implementation costs for nonequilibrium Maxwell's demons.
We determine the maximum amount of work extractable in finite time by a demon performing continuous measurements on a quadratic Hamiltonian system subjected to thermal fluctuations, in terms of the information extracted from the system. The maximum work demon is found to apply a high-gain continuous feedback involving a Kalman-Bucy estimate of the system state and operates in nonequilibrium. A ...
متن کاملImage matching as a diffusion process: an analogy with Maxwell's demons
In this paper, we present the concept of diffusing models to perform image-to-image matching. Having two images to match, the main idea is to consider the objects boundaries in one image as semi-permeable membranes and to let the other image, considered as a deformable grid model, diffuse through these interfaces, by the action of effectors situated within the membranes. We illustrate this conc...
متن کاملAll Shook Up: Fluctuations, Maxwell's Demon and the Thermodynamics of Computation
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 machine. A later tradition sought to exorcise Maxwell’s demon by assessing the entropic cost of the demon’s processing of information. This later tradition fails since these same thermal fluctuations invalidate the molecul...
متن کاملDemons, Engines and the Second Law
O ne manifestation of the sec ond law of thermodynamics is that such devices as refrigera tors, which create inequalities of tem perature, require energy in order to operate. Conversely, an existing in equality of temperature can be ex ploited to do useful work-for exam ple by a steam engine, which exploits the temperature difference between its hot boiler and its cold condenser. Yet in 1...
