Technical analysis of Toffoli gates and reversible computing. Explains Landauer's principle as a thermodynamic lower bound on energy required to erase bits, demonstrates that reversible circuits achieve practical energy efficiency gains despite being ~1 billion times above the theoretical limit, and shows how Toffoli gates serve as building blocks for reversible computation.
