Work Extraction via Backward Motion in Optimal Closed-Loop Stochastic Control
Luis Frieder Reinalter, Emanuele Panizon, Lokesh Muruga +1
We experimentally realize finite-time feedback control in an overdamped colloidal system using real-time optical tweezers with in situ reinforcement learning (RL). By varying the p…

Extracting work from hidden degrees of freedom
Lokesh Muruga, Felix Ginot, Sarah A. M. Loos +1
Thermodynamics establishes that information acquired through measurement can be converted into work, as exemplified by Maxwell's demon and Szilard engines. Most experimental realiz…
