Before revision: A motivation for the study of technologies aimed at implementing reversible computing is that they offer what is predicted to be the only potential way to improve the computational energy efficiency of computers beyond the fundamental von Neumann–Landauer limit Third lecture: Statistical Theories about Information of energy dissipated per irreversible bit operation.
