Data underlying the publication: Bosonic statistics enhance Maxwell's demon in photonic experiment
Abstract
This dataset contains the curated data and code required to reproduce the results of the paper Experimental Photonic Maxwell’s Demon. It includes (i) raw experimental photon-counting data (.mat) from the final runs used in the manuscript (run_20240809_3_4_3to4 and run_20240804_4mode), (ii) pre-processed datasets (combined batches, corrected distributions, and weight factors), (iii) MATLAB analysis scripts and helper functions used to generate the reported observables (probability distributions, photon-number difference, photonic flux, and entropy), (iv) experiment-control assets for provenance (interferometer matrices, voltage-generation script, and measurement scripts), (v) analytical Weingarten-calculus code with precomputed outputs, and (vi) final figure assets (.pdf and .svg) plus the paper and supplementary TeX sources.The repository is curated strictly for reproducibility: files used only for exploratory development or internal notes are excluded, while original data contents and filenames are preserved. No personal or sensitive data are included. Licensing is dual: code under MIT and data/content under CC BY 4.0.
