Abstract

This chapter presents a review of the stochastic thermodynamics under feedback control corresponding to the information processing by Maxwell’s demon. In this chapter, we show the derivation of the generalized second law of thermodynamics with information. The generalized second law of thermodynamics indicates that the mutual information between the target system and the feedback controller gives a lower bound of the entropy production. We also discuss the Szilard engine which is a minimal model of the Maxwell’s demon.
