Abstract: We calculate the maximal non-equilibrium work that can be extracted from any mass using information about its micro-state. This is done through the use of black hole thermodynamics in the context of the thermodynamics of information. The non-equilibrium work that can be obtained by knowing the exact micro-state is found to be $\frac{1}{2} Mc^{2}$. This is calculated using the entropy of an eternal, uncharged, non rotating black hole. This is derivation helps elucidate the relativity of entropy and its relationship to general relativity and time.

Entropy Constraints for Ground Energy Optimization [10.2138250640885]
We study the use of von Neumann entropy constraints for obtaining lower bounds on the ground energy of quantum many-body systems. Known methods for obtaining certificates on the ground energy typically use consistency of local observables and are expressed as semidefinite programming relaxations.

Which entropy for general physical theories? [44.99833362998488]
We address the problem of quantifying the information content of a source for an arbitrary information theory. The functions that solve this problem in classical and quantum theory are Shannon's and von Neumann's entropy, respectively. In a general information theory there are three different functions that extend the notion of entropy, and this opens the question as to whether any of them can universally play the role of the quantifier for the information content.

Exact Renormalization Group, Entanglement Entropy, and Black Hole Entropy [0.0]
We investigate how the quantum fluctuations from the fields that render the black hole its temperature contribute to its entropy. We show that throughout the flow one can split the quantum field contribution to the entropy into a part coming from the entanglement between field degrees of freedom inside and outside the horizon. A similar conclusion is valid for the Wald entropy part of the total entropy.

An Entropy Equation for Energy [0.0]
This paper describes an entropy equation, but one that should be used for measuring energy and not information. The human brain makes use of energy efficiency to form its structures, which is likely to be linked to the neuron wiring. A comparison with Einstein's relativity equation is made and also the audacious suggestion that a black hole has zero-energy inside.

Before the Page time: maximum entanglements or the return of the monster? [3.364554138758565]
entropy of Hawking radiation is approximately equal to the maximum of entanglement entropy if a black hole is in a state before the Page time. If there exists a process generating smaller entanglements rather than maximal entanglements, the entropy of Hawking radiation will become smaller.
