Maxwell's Demon : Entropy, Information, Computing /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

About 120 years ago, James Clerk Maxwell introduced his now legendary hypothetical "demon" as a challenge to the integrity of the second law of thermodynamics. Fascination with the demon persisted throughout the development of statistical and quantum physics, information theory, and comput...
