Linked bibliography for the SEP article "Information Processing and Thermodynamic Entropy" by Owen Maroney
This is an automatically generated and experimental page
If everything goes well, this page should display the bibliography of the aforementioned article as it appears in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, but with links added to PhilPapers records and Google Scholar for your convenience. Some bibliographies are not going to be represented correctly or fully up to date. In general, bibliographies of recent works are going to be much better linked than bibliographies of primary literature and older works. Entries with PhilPapers records have links on their titles. A green link indicates that the item is available online at least partially.
This experiment has been authorized by the editors of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. The original article and bibliography can be found here.
A comprehensive annotated bibliography of the subject, up until 2003,
is included in the collection (Leff and Rex 2003), which also contains
many key articles, mainly supporting the Landauer-Penrose-Bennett
position. A detailed analysis of the history of Maxwell's demon, the
Szilard engine and critiques of information theoretic exorcisms are in
Earman and Norton (1998, 1999) with Norton (2005) providing a similar
critique of Landauer's principle.
