A quantum Maxwell demon is a device that can lower the entropy of a quantum system by providing it with purity. The functionality of such a quantum demon is rooted in a quantum-mechanical SWAP operation exchanging mixed and pure states. Here, we describe the setup and performance of a quantum Maxwell demon that purifies an energy-isolated system from a distance. Our cQED-based design involves two transmon qubits, where the mixed-state target qubit is purified by a pure-state demon qubit connected via an off-resonant transmission line; this configuration naturally generates an iSWAP gate. Although less powerful than a full SWAP gate, we show that assuming the present-day performance characteristics of a cQED implementation, such an extended quantum Maxwell demon can purify the target qubit over macroscopic distances on the order of meters and tolerates elevated temperatures of the order of a few Kelvin in the transmission line.
