As usual (often) I am humbled... in complement to your (EricS's) "if I
were smart and I had time" I counter "if I were smart and I had
focus"... this stuff just seems too hard (intellectually) for me to stay
focused on long enough to carefully puzzle it out, but/so I really

It seems like there are two separate questions here.
Steve talked about reversible gates, and suggested them as solutions to heat
wastage. But I think that doesn’t go through. I too thought of Marcus’s point
about unitary quatum gates as the obvious case of reversibility (needed for
them to f
The unitary gates of quantum computers provide a similar capability.
I had hoped that superconducting classical circuits would keep getting
developed too, but that too seems stuck. Northrop Grumman was working on it for
a while. At least now recent Supercomputing conferences have lots of spiffy
Re Reversible Computing and Fredkin/Toffoli gates. I'm fascinated with
the apparent lack of progress in this general field.
When they spoke on this topic in 1983 (and I think Feynman referenced it
in his updated "plenty of room at the bottom" (ca 1959) talk in the
context of speculating as t
Hmmm good point! My Alexa app when I asked for music yesterday;
Me: hey Alexa play some instrumental dance music for kids.
Alexa: there is no band named either instrumental or from kids on Amazon.
My brain; I was thinking pxar or Disney.

Have you tried to use Alexa? Alexa that actually understands would be so much
more useful.
