Maxwell's demon, rectifiers, and the second law: Computer simulation of Smoluchowski's trapdoor

P. A. Skordos, W. H. Zurek

We have simulated numerically an automated version of Maxwell's demon inspired by Smoluchowski's ideas of 1912. Two gas chambers of equal volume are connected via an opening that i…
