From Hamiltonian chaos to Maxwell`s Demon

Journal Article Zaslavsky, G M ; Department of Physics, 2-4 Washington Pl., New York, New York 10003 - Chaos

The problem of the existence of Maxwell`s Demon (MD) is formulated for systems with dynamical chaos. Property of stickiness of individual trajectories, anomalous distribution of the Poincare recurrence time, and anomalous (non-Gaussian) transport for a typical system with Hamiltonian chaos results in a possibility to design a situation equivalent to the MD operation. A numerical example demonstrates a possibility to set without expenditure of work a thermodynamically non-equilibrium state between two contacted domains of the phase space lasting for an arbitrarily long time. This result offers a new view of the Hamiltonian chaos and its role in the foundation ofmore »« less

Information flow in quantum mechanics: The Quantum Maxwell Demon

Conference Chapline, G F

Quantum information can be lost only when a quantum system is placed in contact with a heat bath, and then only in proportion to the entropy generated. Applied to the universe as a whole this suggests that the universe is in an algorithmically simple nearly pure quantum state. This could be verified by squeezing'' the vacuum state, and it is quite plausible that this is exactly what is happening inside black holes. 14 refs.
Nucleation theory without Maxwell demons

Journal Article Katz, J L ; Wiedersich, H - J. Colloid Interface Sci.; (United States)

The equations for steady-state nucleation are derived from the rates of growth and decay of clusters with emphasis on a clear distinction between thermodynamic quantities and inherently kinetic quantities. It is shown that the emission rates of molecules from embryos can be related to the equilibrium size distribution of clusters in a saturated vapor. It is therefore not necessary to invoke the existence of an embryo size distribution constrained be in equilibrium with a supersaturated vapor. The driving force for nucleation is shown to be a kinetic quantity called the condensation rate ratio, i.e., the ratio of the rates ofmore »« less

Algorithmic information content, Church-Turing thesis, physical entropy, and Maxwell's demon

Conference Zurek, W H

Measurements convert alternative possibilities of its potential outcomes into the definiteness of the record'' -- data describing the actual outcome. The resulting decrease of statistical entropy has been, since the inception of the Maxwell's demon, regarded as a threat to the second law of thermodynamics. For, when the statistical entropy is employed as the measure of the useful work which can be extracted from the system, its decrease by the information gathering actions of the observer would lead one to believe that, at least from the observer's viewpoint, the second law can be violated. I show that the decrease ofmore »« less
