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…

Fluctuation theorems for autonomous work

Christopher Jarzynski, Sebastian Deffner, Saar Rahav

Classical fluctuation theorems for work have been obtained theoretically, and verified experimentally, within a non-autonomous framework in which work is performed on a system of i…

Piston-Like Information Engine I: Universal Features in Equilibrium

Rémi Goerlich, Gilad Pollack, Eli Flaxer +2

The ability to measure the stochastic degrees of freedom of a thermal system enables the extraction of energy from an equilibrium heat bath. This is the underlying principle of Max…

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…

Acceleration of enzymatic reactions due to nearby inactive binding sites

Hila Katznelson, Saar Rahav

Many biological molecular motors and machines are driven by chemical reactions that occur in specific catalytic sites. We study whether the arrival of molecules to such an active s…

A many-body Szilard engine with giant number fluctuations

Omer Chor, Amir Sohachi, Rémi Goerlich +3

Szilárd's information engine is a canonical example in the field of thermodynamics of information. We realize experimentally a macroscopic many-particle Szilárd engine that consist…
