Description
I will start by presenting different ways in which one can
use stochastic thermodynamics to characterize the cost of
operations manipulating information. The main focus of my
talk will be dedicated to explicitly show, using stochastic
thermodynamics, in what sense a Maxwell demon effectively
modifies the second law of thermodynamics and in what sense
it satisfies the second law when the cost for operating the
demon is taken into account. A model of coupled quantum
dots will be used to illustrate my point.
