Entropy generation in a model of reversible computation
arXiv:cs/0610101 · doi:10.1051/ita:2006013
Abstract
We present a model in which, due to the quantum nature of the signals controlling the implementation time of successive unitary computational steps, \emph{physical} irreversibility appears in the execution of a \emph{logically} reversible computation.
