We consider the thermodynamic properties of systems in contact with an information source and focus on the consequences of energetic cost associated with the exchange of information. To this end we introduce the model of a thermal tape and derive a general bound for the efficiency of work extraction for systems in contact with such a tape. Depending on the perspective, the correlations between system and tape may either increase or reduce the efficiency of the device. We illustrate our general results with two exactly solvable models, one being an autonomous system, the other one involving measurement and feedback. We also define an ideal tape limit in which our findings reduce to known results.

We present a combination of theoretical calculations and experiments for the low-lying vibrational excitations of H and D atoms adsorbed on the Pt(111) surface. The vibrational band states are calculated based on the full three-dimensional adiabatic
potential energy surface obtained from first principles calculations. For coverages less than three quarters of a monolayer, the observed experimental high-resolution electron peaks at 31 and 68meV are in excellent agreement with the theoretical transitions between selected bands. Our results convincingly demonstrate the need to go beyond the local harmonic oscillator picture to understand the dynamics of this system.
A symmetry breaking (SB) involves an abrupt change in the set of microstates that a system can explore. This change has unavoidable thermodynamic implications. According to Boltzmanns microscopic interpretation of entropy, a shrinkage of the set of c
ompatible states implies a decrease of entropy, which eventually needs to be compensated by dissipation of heat and consequently requires work. Examples are the compression of a gas and the erasure of information. On the other hand, in a spontaneous SB, the available phase space volume changes without the need for work, yielding an apparent decrease of entropy. Here we show that this decrease of entropy is a key ingredient in the Szilard engine and Landauers principle and report on a direct measurement of the entropy change along SB transitions in a Brownian particle. The SB is induced by a bistable potential created with two optical traps. The experiment confirms theoretical results based on fluctuation theorems, allows us to reproduce the Szilard engine extracting energy from a single thermal bath, and shows that the signature of a SB in the energetics is measurable, providing new methods to detect, for example, the coexistence of metastable states in macromolecules.
We consider a randomly flashing ratchet, where the potential acting can be switched to another at random. Using coupled Fokker-Planck equations, we formulate the expressions of quantities measuring dynamics and thermodynamics. Extended numerical calc
ulations present how the potential landscapes and the transitions affect the motility and energetics. Load-dependent velocity and energetic efficiency of motor proteins, kinesin and dynein, further exemplify the randomly flashing ratchet model. We also discuss the system with two shifted sawtooth potentials.
We introduce a model of the quantum Brownian motion coupled to a classical neat bath by using the operator differential proposed in the quantum analysis. We then define the heat operator by adapting the idea of the stochastic energetics. The introduc
ed operator satisfies the relations which are analogous to the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
The common saying, that information is power, takes a rigorous form in stochastic thermodynamics, where a quantitative equivalence between the two helps explain the paradox of Maxwells demon in its ability to reduce entropy. In the present paper, we
build on earlier work on the interplay between the relative cost and benefits of information in producing work in cyclic operation of thermodynamic engines (by Sandberg etal. 2014). Specifically, we study the general case of overdamped particles in a time-varying potential (control action) in feedback that utilizes continuous measurements (nonlinear filtering) of a thermodynamic ensemble, to produce suitable adaptations of the second law of thermodynamics that involve information.
