Abstract Information loss from a computation implies energy dissipation due to Landauer's
Principle. Thus, increasing the amount of useful computational work that can be …

Today's computers are based on irreversible logic devices, which have been known to be
fundamentally energy-inefficient for several decades. Recently, alternative reversible logic …

Few books comprehensively cover the software and programming aspects of reversible
computing. Filling this gap, Introduction to Reversible Computing offers an expanded view of …

Reversible computing is motivated by the von Neumann-Landauer (VNL) principle, a
theorem of modern physics telling us that ordinary irreversible logic operations (which …

The reversible computation paradigm aims to provide a new foundation for general classical
digital computing that is capable of circumventing the thermodynamic limits to the energy …

Reversible computation allows computation to proceed not only in the standard, forward
direction, but also backward, recovering past states. While reversible computation has …

As energy efficiency becomes a paramount issue in this day and age, reversible computing
may serve as a critical step towards energy conservation in information technology. The …

Reversible computing has been studied since Rolf Landauer advanced the argument that
has come to be known as Landauer's principle. This principle states that there is no …

There is now a fairly extensive literature on reversible computation [l, 2, 3, 4] which shows
that the energy dissipation per device operation cannot be reduced below ln (2) kT (where k …
