Quantum Szilard Engine
read the original abstract
The Szilard engine (SZE) is the quintessence of Maxwell's demon, which can extract the work from a heat bath by utilizing information. We present the first complete quantum analysis of the SZE, and derive an analytic expression of the quantum-mechanical work performed by a quantum SZE containing an arbitrary number of molecules, where it is crucial to regard the process of insertion or removal of a wall as a legitimate thermodynamic process. We find that more (less) work can be extracted from the bosonic (fermionic) SZE due to the indistinguishability of identical particles.

Dynamical Casimir Effect and Vacuum Friction in the Near-Horizon Geometry of a Black Hole
A quantum Maxwell demon near a black hole horizon loses some work extraction ability for external observers due to information inaccessibility but obeys local thermodynamics and preserves the equivalence principle for...

Dynamical Casimir Effect and Vacuum Friction in the Near-Horizon Geometry of a Black Hole
In the near-horizon geometry of a black hole, the dynamical Casimir effect is suppressed by a conformal geometric factor and vanishing effective Mach number, causing the transition probability to vanish at the event horizon.
