Resumo

We explore the role a non-Markovian memory kernel plays on information exchange and entropy production in the context of a external work protocol. The Jarzynski equality is shown to hold for both the harmonic and the nonharmonic models. We observe the memory function acts as an information pump, recovering part of the information lost to the thermal reservoir as a consequence of the nonequilibrium work protocol. The pumping action occurs for both the harmonic and nonharmonic cases. Unexpectedly, we found that the harmonic model does not produce entropy, regardless of the work protocol. The presence of even a small amount of nonlinearity recovers the more normal entropy producing behavior, for out-of-equilibrium protocols. (AU)
