Energy Limits in Computation A Review of Landauer's Principle, Theory and Experiments /

This book is a single-source reference to the issues involved in the Landauer principle, which has gained new prominence recently, due to the large amount of heat generated by today's computers. If Landauer's principle is correct, there may be ways to build computers that dissipate far les...
