Information Engines: Nanoscale Control, Computing, and Communication out of Equilibrium
Abstract
The Information Engines MURIs original goal was to develop a unified framework for understanding, designing, and implementing micron-scale and nanoscale information-processing engines and to provide the scientific foundation for future nanoscale devices with groundbreaking capabilities. These ambitious goals were met and, in several cases, exceeded as at tested by the projects marked productivity; see http://informationengines.org Research. These successes opened up a number of exciting future theoretical and experimental research avenues. The main efforts successfully developed methods to control nanoscale thermodynamic processes and, perhaps most importantly, culminated in successful detailed experimental tests and verifications of our theoretical results. That said, looking beyond this MURI, much remains to do and the core PI team continues to collaborate on and extend the Information Engines MURIs progress. Putting the accomplishments in broad perspective, lets briefly review the overall project goals.
