An old physics demon could be the future of quantum computing

EXCERPT: . . . A team of researchers at Penn State just realized, in the physical world, a famous thought experiment called Maxwell’s Demon. This is a big deal for quantum computers. It could aid in resolving one of the biggest problems with quantum computing: Entropy, in the form of noisy qubits.

[...James Maxwell's thought experiment was considered to have...] defied the 2nd law of thermodynamics (the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time) and was impossible. Enter Penn State. David Weiss, professor of physics at Penn State and the leader of the research team said:

Later work has shown that the demon doesn’t actually violate the second law and subsequently there have been many attempts to devise experimental systems that behave like the demon. There have been some successes at very small scales, but we’ve created a system in which we can manipulate a large number of atoms, organizing them in a way that reduces the system’s entropy, just like the demon.

The team accomplished this by using lasers to trap and arrange atoms across a three dimensional 5x5x5 grid. Once trapped, scientists controlled the atoms by adjusting the polarity of the traps. The atoms are then super-cooled, which allows scientists to contain the entropy of the system. In essence, this works around the noise problem....
