Maxwell's Demon has haunted the foundations of physics for over 150 years and recently it has been messing with quantum technologies. In our latest Paradoxes video, Oxford PhD researcher Maria Violaris explains the classical Maxwell's Demon thought experiment, and the microscopic version known as Szilard's engine. Then she tests out what happens when the demon is quantum, showing you how to code your own quantum Maxwell's Demon as a quantum circuit in Qiskit!
