Abstract
► We consider a thermodynamic system out of equilibrium. ► Three new thermodynamic potentials are considered. ► They describe a system that can exchange energy and information with the reservoir. ► Information theory quantifies the reduction in entropy by exchanging information. ► The use of information to control the exchange of energy maximizes the free energy.
