Many-body Szilárd engine with giant number fluctuations
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 consists of active particles and use it to lift a mass against gravity. We show that the extractable work per cycle increa...
