Quantum Discord and Maxwell's Demons

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Quantum discord was proposed as an information theoretic measure of the ``quantumness'' of correlations. I show that discord determines the difference between the efficiency of quantum and classical Maxwell's demons in extracting work from collections of correlated quantum systems.
