Experimental observation of the role of mutual information in the nonequilibrium dynamics of a Maxwell demon.
We validate experimentally a fluctuation relation known as generalized Jarzynski equality governing the work distribution in a feedback-controlled system. The feedback control is performed on a single electron box analogously to the original Szilard engine. In the generalized Jarzynski equality, mutual information is treated on an equal footing with the thermodynamic work. Our measurements prov...
متن کاملExchange of stability as a function of system size in a nonequilibrium system.
In equilibrium systems with short-ranged interactions, the relative stability of different thermodynamic states generally does not depend on system size (as long as this size is larger than the interaction range). Here, we use a large deviations approach to show that, in contrast, different states can exchange stability as system size is varied in a driven, bistable reaction-diffusion system. T...

متن کاملMendel's demon
on the shelves of any evolutionary biologist or student of the subject and you are likely to see a textbook by Mark Ridley. But Ridley, formerly at Emory University in Atlanta, and now in Oxford, has had another book in his mind for quite some time. He believes there are some ideas sparked by the Austrian monk, Gregor Mendel, that are of broader interest and has set out to explore some of them ...
متن کاملExciton-polariton gas as a nonequilibrium coolant.
Using angle-resolved Raman spectroscopy, we show that a resonantly excited ground-state exciton-polariton fluid behaves like a nonequilibrium coolant for its host solid-state semiconductor microcavity. With this optical technique, we obtain a detailed measurement of the thermal fluxes generated by the pumped polaritons. We thus find a maximum cooling power for a cryostat temperature of 50 K and...
