    "abstract": "Quantum operations provide a general description of the state changes allowed\nby quantum mechanics. The reversal of quantum operations is important for\nquantum error-correcting codes, teleportation, and reversing quantum\nmeasurements. We derive information-theoretic conditions and equivalent\nalgebraic conditions that are necessary and sufficient for a general quantum\noperation to be reversible. We analyze the thermodynamic cost of error\ncorrection and show that error correction can be regarded as a kind of\n``Maxwell demon,\u0027\u0027 for which there is an entropy cost associated with\ninformation obtained from measurements performed during error correction. A\nprescription for thermodynamically efficient error correction is given.",
