Theory seminar: Information flow and optimal protocol for Maxwell's demon single electron pump

Joakim Bergli, UiO

Maxwell's demon was invented almost 150 years ago to illustrate the statistical nature of thermodynamics. Since then, it has stimulated new ideas about the interplay of entropy and information, with new elements entering the discussion even up to the present. I will summarize key ideas which are relevant and then discuss recent work on the possibility of creating a Maxwell demon in nanoelectronic devices.

Note the time!
