Primes

• Second Law of Thermodynamics
  • Szilard's analysis

    This sourceShows that Maxwell demon's measurement unavoidably produces entropy; links information theory to thermodynamics; establishes that the demon must erase information; precursor to Landauer's principle; resolves Maxwell paradox.

    SupportedVerified against the publisher's abstract

    Szilard argues that a thermodynamic system in which measurements are made could show a lasting decrease in entropy, and so offend against the second law, “wenn nicht die Messungen selbst ihrerseits notwendig unter Entropieerzeugung vor sich gehen würden”, that is, unless the measurements themselves necessarily proceed with entropy production. He adds that the entropy produced in measurement need be no greater than compensation requires. That measurement-entropy link is the analysis the sentence invokes.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
