Feedback control: from Maxwell's demon to quantum phase transitions — •Tobias Brandes — TU Berlin

I will give an overview of our recent attempts to understand the thermodynamics and quantum mechanics of closed loop (feedback) control. I will discuss a minimal implementation of Maxwell's demon in a solid state system with only four states [1], but also the opposite case of many collective degrees of freedom, i.e. models for phase transitions (Dicke superradiance model [2], quantum Ising chain [3]).
