Information processing and the second law of thermodynamics: an inclusive, Hamiltonian approach
Sebastian Deffner, Christopher Jarzynski
We obtain generalizations of the Kelvin-Planck, Clausius, and Carnot statements of the second law of thermodynamics, for situations involving information processing. To this end, w…

Maxwell's Refrigerator: An Exactly Solvable Model
Dibyendu Mandal, H. T. Quan, Christopher Jarzynski
We describe a simple and solvable model of a device that -- like the "neat-fingered being" in Maxwell's famous thought experiment -- transfers energy from a cold system to a hot sy…

Generating shortcuts to adiabaticity in quantum and classical dynamics
Christopher Jarzynski
Transitionless quantum driving achieves adiabatic evolution in a hurry, using a counter-diabatic Hamiltonian to stifle non-adiabatic transitions. Here this strategy is cast in term…
