Predictive Maxwell's Demons
Nathaniel Rupprecht, Dervis Vural
Here we study the operation efficiency of a finite-size finite-response-time Maxwell's demon, who can make future predictions. We compare the heat and mass transport rate of predic…
Depletion force between disordered linear macromolecules
Nathaniel Rupprecht, Dervis Can Vural
When two macromolecules come very near in a fluid, the surrounding molecules, having finite volume, are less likely to get in between. This leads to a pressure difference manifesti…
Maxwell's demons with finite size and response time
Nathaniel Rupprecht, Dervis Vural
Nearly all theoretical analyses of the Maxwell's demon focus on its energetic and entropic costs of operation. Here, we focus on its rate of operation. In our model, a demon's rate…
Enhancing the predictability and retrodictability of stochastic processes
Nathaniel Rupprecht, Dervis Vural
Scientific inference involves obtaining the unknown properties or behavior of a system in the light of what is known, typically, without changing the system. Here we propose an alt…
Limits on Inferring the Past
Nathaniel Rupprecht, Dervis Vural
Here we define and study the properties of retrodictive inference. We derive equations relating retrodiction entropy and thermodynamic entropy, and as a special case, show that und…
