Many of the fundamental limits on information processing, from thermodynamics, relativity,
and quantum mechanics, are only a few decades away. Novel physically motivated …

The so-called Landauer-Bennett thesis says that logically irreversible operations (physically
implemented) such as erasure necessarily involve dissipation by at least k ln2 per bit of lost …

We review the physical foundations of Landauer's Principle, which relates the loss of
information from a computational process to an increase in thermodynamic entropy. Despite …

Landauer's principle, often regarded as the basic principle of the thermodynamics of
information processing, holds that any logically irreversible manipulation of information …

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 …

A recentLetter in this journal'(henceforth PGFP) reasserts, with the help of some plausible
but informal arguments, a view once widely held but subsequently refuted, viz., that …

Irreversible information processing cannot be carried out without some inevitable
thermodynamical work cost. This fundamental restriction, known as Landauer's principle, is …

Our main models of computation (the Turing Machine and the RAM) and most modern
computer architectures make fundamental assumptions about which primitive operations are …
