Abstract

Quantum energy teleportation (QET) is a quantum feedback protocol in which local measurements, classical communication, and preexisting entanglement enable the extraction of energy at a distant site, without transporting physical energy carriers. Originally conceived as a theoretical manifestation of Maxwell’s demon, QET has developed into a versatile tool for probing quantum correlations, diagnosing phase transitions, and powering emergent quantum thermodynamic technologies. This brief review provides a pedagogical introduction to the theoretical foundations and recent developments of QET, including quantum operations, entropic and fidelity-based bounds, and resource analyses involving quantum discord. Additionally, recent experimental realizations on superconducting quantum computers are revisited.
