Anthony Bartolotta: Bayesian Updating in Thermodynamics

Measurements have been previously incorporated in thermodynamics, usually in the context of feedback control. These measurements provide information about the current state of the system allowing useful work to be extracted. Furthermore, they contain information about previous states of the system. Consequently, under a Bayesian framework, the distribution functions of the previous states must be updated. This updating changes the definitions of “initial” entropy and free energy. Several thermodynamic equalities and inequalities that incorporate the information-theoretic contributions of the Bayesian updating are derived. The role of Bayesian updating in systems with coarse-grained or unknown dynamics is also discussed.
