The Landauer limit is the least amount of energy that a computer component can use to process information. A new logic gate that uses 'nanoscopic trampolines' could approach this lower bound
A computer component that uses vibrations rather than electrons could approach the physical lower limit for energy use when processing and sending information.
needed for a computer to perform a computational step is called the “Landauer limit”, named after the 1960s physicists Rolf Landauer. In his calculations, Landauer did not consider any specific computer design, but rather the basic energy cost required to manipulate information, like erasing or re-writing a bit.Subscribe now for unlimited access
