The birth, life, and death of Maxwell's demon provoked a profound discussion about the interplay between thermodynamics, computation, and information. Even after its exorcism, the demon continues to inspire a multidisciplinary field. This tutorial offers a comprehensive overview of Maxwell's demon and its enduring influence, bridging classical concepts with modern insights in thermodynamics, information theory, and quantum mechanics.
