Abstract
We summarize recent experimental and theoretical progress achieved in the physics of information. We highlight the intimate connection existing between information and energy from Maxwell’s demon and Szilard’s engine to Landauer’s erasure principle. We focus both on classical and quantum systems and conclude by discussing applications in engineering and biology.
