Conservative logic
Edward Fredkin,Tommaso Toffoli +1 more
TL;DR: Conservative logic shows that it is ideally possible to build sequential circuits with zero internal power dissipation and proves that universal computing capabilities are compatible with the reversibility and conservation constraints.
Proceedings Article
Reversible Computing
TL;DR: According to a physical interpretation, the central result of this paper is that i¢ is ideally possible to build sequential c/rcuits with zero internal power dissipation.
Book
Cellular Automata Machines: A New Environment for Modeling
Tommaso Toffoli,Norman Margolus +1 more
TL;DR: This book provides a laboratory in which the ideas presented in this book can be tested and applied to the synthesis of a great variety of systems, including practical applications involving parallel computation and image processing.
Journal Article
Cellular automata machines
TL;DR: A cellular automata machine is a computer optimized for the simulation of cellular Automata that allows it to run thousands of times faster than a general-purpose computer of comparable cost programmed to do the same task.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular automata as an alternative to (rather than an approximation of) differential equations in modeling physics
TL;DR: The problem of encoding the state-variables and evolution laws of a physical system into this new setting, and of giving suitable correspondence rules for interpreting the model's behavior, is discussed.
