Thermodynamics of quantum measurement and Maxwell's demon's arrow of time

Thermodynamics of quantum measurement and Maxwell's demon's arrow of time

In a single-qubit weak-measurement-based device, one may imagine feedback control as conducted by a quantum Maxwell's demon. Here, the authors investigate both discrete and continuous measurements in such a device in order to connect work and entropy statistics to the demon's perceived arrow of time.
