Temporal Correlations and Optimal Feedback Control of an Active Information Engine
Laura Hoek, Yael Roichman
How much does a feedback controller need to know about the fluctuations it exploits? We address this question using a macroscopic information engine driven by self-propelled bristl…

Piston-Like Information Engine II: Boundary-Controlled Optimum in Active Matter
Laura Hoek, Neta Ben Ari, Rémi Goerlich +2
Information engines convert information into extractable work through measurements and feedback. We realize an engine that employs information to compress a gas of self-propelled b…

Experimental Realizations of Information Engines: Beyond Proof of Concept
Rémi Goerlich, Laura Hoek, Omer Chor +2
Gathering information about a system enables greater control over it. This principle lies at the core of information engines, which use measurement-based feedback to rectify therma…
