Written by one of the few top internationally recognized experts in the field, this book
concentrates on those topics that will remain fundamental, such as low power computing …

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

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 …

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 …

A reversible computing system is a “backward deterministic” system such that every state of
the system has at most one predecessor. Hence, there is no pair of distinct states that go to …

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

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

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

The theory of reversible computing is based on invertible primitives and composition rules
that preserve invertibility. With these constraints, one can still satisfactorily deal with both …

Reversible computing is a paradigm where computing models are defined so that they
reflect physical reversibility, one of the fundamental microscopic physical property of Nature …
