Maxwell's Demon and Information Entropy

#thermodynamics #information-theory #physics

Examine the theoretical resolution of a thermodynamic paradox using information theory.

Describe the theoretical paradox of Maxwell's Demon, where a hypothetical being seems to violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics by sorting fast and slow molecules. Analyze the resolution provided by Rolf Landauer and Charles Bennett, focusing on the concept that information is physical and the act of erasing information (Landauer's principle) generates entropy, thereby preserving the Second Law.
