Abstract:
With the finite-tape autonomous information ratchet modeled by He et al. [Phys. Rev. E 105, 054131 (2022)2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.105.054131], we recast the information processing second law, giving a tighter bound on the work extracted, in terms of the marginal bit-ratchet distribution defined from the joint tape-ratchet distribution. The marginal distribution is further utilized to probe and elucidate the conditions that lead to the presence of equilibrium and nonequilibrium stationary states in general, which are related to the effects of correlation. Applying our analysis to two designs of this information ratchet, where correlations within manifest differently, we uncover the mathematical condition for equilibrium stationary states for information ratchets that harness correlation, to identify them for engine operation during the transient phase.

If you suspect a linear relationship between x and y, then r can measure how strong the linear relationship is.
What the VALUE of r tells us:
The value of r is always between –1 and +1: –1 ≤ r ≤ 1.
The size of the correlation r indicates the...
