How Maxwell's Demon Can Inspire Quantum Computing

The Intersection of Thermodynamics and Quantum Computing

Introduction

Have you ever wondered if you could break the laws of physics and create a perpetual motion machine? Well, you're not alone. In 1867, a Scottish physicist named James Clerk Maxwell imagined a scenario where a tiny creature could do just that. He called it Maxwell's Demon.

No actual demons were summoned during the writing of this article.
