A quantum Szilard engine without heat from a thermal reservoir
We study a quantum Szilard engine that is not powered by heat drawn from a thermal reservoir, but rather by projective measurements. The engine is constituted of a system ${ \mathcal S }$ , a weight ${ \mathcal W }$ , and a Maxwell demon ${ \mathcal D }$ , and extracts work via measurement-assisted...
