Abstract

Description

This paper revisits the Maxwell Demon Problem. Representing the demon with a simple physical computer composed of a single memory element, we demonstrate that the average minimum entropy increase of the universe due to sorting of particles with a Maxwell Demon is eta=0.8400 for particles that are initially randomly distributed.
