Solace of quantum

Figure: A Brownian particle (subject to thermal agitation) wanders in a confined well until it reaches a threshold, where an automated system (a demon) acts on the position of the well to extract energy from the particle. The cyclical operation of the process creates a temporal information engine between the demon's actions.
