Power of an optical Maxwell's demon in the presence of photon-number correlations
arXiv:1611.00899 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.95.022123
Abstract
We study how correlations affect the performance of the simulator of a Maxwell's demon demonstrated in a recent optical experiment [Vidrighin et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 050401 (2016)]. The power of the demon is found to be enhanced or hindered, depending on the nature of the correlation, in close analogy to the situation faced by a thermal demon.
