A team of quantum engineers from UNSW Sydney have developed a method to reset a quantum computer – that is, to prepare a quantum bit for the “0” state – with very high confidence, as needed to reliable quantum calculations. The method is surprisingly simple: it is related to the old concept of “Maxwell’s demon”, …
