摘要
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 -- that is, entities that can or cannot measure nonlocal observables or carry out conditional quantum operations -- in extracting work from collections of correlated quantum systems.
