Information processing second law for an information ratchet with finite tape by He, Lianjie, Pradana, Andri, Cheong, Jian Wei, Chew, Lock Yue

“…Nonetheless, cumulative work can be accrued or expended through successive tape scans and we prove that at all time the ratchet obeys the information processing second law (IPSL). Unlike the IPSL for the infinite-tape ratchet which operates only at the stationary state, the IPSL here is applicable also at the transient phase of the ratchet operation. …”
