Sub-kBT micro-electromechanical irreversible logic gate

In computers, computation is performed by assemblies of logic gates, most of which are logically irreversible. Here, the authors explore the connection between logical and physical irreversibility through an OR gate made by a micro-electromechanical cantilever that can be operated with extremely lit...

Sumario:In computers, computation is performed by assemblies of logic gates, most of which are logically irreversible. Here, the authors explore the connection between logical and physical irreversibility through an OR gate made by a micro-electromechanical cantilever that can be operated with extremely little energy.
