Title :
A review of adiabatic computing
Author_Institution :
AT&T Bell Labs., Holmdel, NJ, USA
Abstract :
We explain (a) why people want a low-energy computer; (b) under what conditions there is-or is not-an irreducible energy per computation for CMOS circuits; (c) partial versus full adiabatic computation, and their relationship to logically reversible computation; (d) various schemes for achieving adiabatic operation.
