Introduction to Information Thermodynamics

We demonstrate that this operation leads to alternative expressions of the Jarzynski equality and the second law of thermodynamics, which are consistent with the previously suggested theory of information thermodynamics.

This paper proposes new avenues for origins research that apply modern concepts from stochastic thermodynamics, information thermodynamics and complexity science.

Here we introduce the information thermodynamics for time series, that are non-bipartite in general, and we show that the link between irreversibility and information can only result from an incomplete causal representation.

A new quantity, similar to the coarse-grained entropy production in information thermodynamics, is introduced to quantify the total fitness gain from individual sensing, which also satisfies FRs.

, in a living cell, have a complex origin that precludes a description of such systems in terms of bipartite or multipartite processes, as is usually done in the framework of stochastic and/or information thermodynamics.

It implies that even if the memory erasure is a natural part of the process, it costs energy in accord with information thermodynamics.
