	Reversible Logic
		PhysComp '96 was held in Boston in November of 1996.
		Reversible computing at MIT is a large and active area of research, with investigations reaching from the levels of the physics of computation and theory of reversible computing, through the circuit techniques for implementing reversible logic, to the development of instruction sets and programming languages which support fully reversible computation."
		This brief introduction to reversible logic is provided courtesy of Ralph C. Merkle.

	Reversible process (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In thermodynamics, a reversible process, or reversible cycle if the process is cyclic, is a process that can be "reversed" by means of infinitesimal changes in some property of the system without loss or dissipation of energy.
		A reversible process changes the state of a system in such a way that the net change in the combined entropy of the system and its surroundings is zero.
		Reversible processes define the boundaries of how efficient heat engines can be in thermodynamics and engineering: a reversible process is one where no heat is lost from the system as "waste", and the machine is thus as efficient as it can possibly be (see Carnot cycle).

	Reversible computing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term reversible computing refers to any computational process that is (at least to some close approximation) reversible, i.e., time-invertible, meaning that a time-reversed version of the process could exist within the same general dynamical framework as the original process.
		For example, within the context of deterministic dynamical frameworks, a necessary condition for reversibility is that the transition function mapping states to their successors at a given later time should be one-to-one.
		The implementation of reversible computing thus amounts to learning how to characterize and control the physical dynamics of mechanisms to carry out desired computational operations so precisely that we can accumulate a negligible total amount of uncertainty regarding the complete physical state of the mechanism, per each logic operation that is performed.

	UF RESEARCHER: “REVERSIBLE” COMPUTERS MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT, FASTER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		So-called “reversible computing” would not only reduce computer chips’ power consumption, it also could boost their speed, because these chips are becoming so fast that the heat they generate limits the speed at which they can operate without overheating and malfunctioning.
		In fact, unless reversible computing is achieved, computer chips are expected to reach their maximum performance capabilities within the next three decades, effectively halting the rapid advances in speed that have driven the information technology revolution, Frank said.
		Reversible computing seeks to configure integrated circuits in such a way that they can use their current state to recover previous states - in other words, rather than building up and tossing away unwanted information, the chips “uncompute” it fluidly, with little power expenditure or heat generation.

	What's Reversible Computing? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Such a computation is "reversible" since the reconstruction of previous states could be applied to allow progressing backwards through the computer's sequence of states, in a time-reversed fashion.
		Also, reversibility isn't an all-or-nothing proposition; if the overhead of total reversibility is too high, it can be greatly reduced by allowing information to be thrown away occasionally, while still allowing almost all of the benefits of the reversibility to be realized.
		Reversible computing may have applications in computer security and transaction processing, but we anticipate that the main long-term benefit will be to allow faster, smaller computers.

	Reversible Process -- from Eric Weisstein's World of Physics
		A reversible process is one in which the timescale is assumed to be so slow that every intermediate state deviates only infinitesimally from equilibrium.
		A good approximation to a reversible process would be realized by removing the sand one grain at a time and carefully recording the thermodynamic variables (temperature and pressure in this case) after each grain of sand is removed.
		This would be a reversible expansion and one could individually return the grains of sand one at a time and reproduce each intermediate state exactly, thus reversing the transformation.

	Reversible Agents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		After reviewing the general concept of reversible computation, this paper will describe several different types of fundamental entropy costs that agents must apparently pay, including costs to achieve goals states, to observe a changing world, to run indefinitely in finite memory, and to exchange messages with other agents.
		But recently it has been shown that such losses are not intrinsic to computer logic; "reversible" (one to one) gates can be designed with no logical losses, and with bits of entropy lost to friction per instruction inverse in the time allowed to execute each instruction at low temperature.
		For concreteness, one may image the agent's CPU to be implemented in reversible rod logic [4], where state is held in the position of short solid rods.

	Reversible Process Thermodynamic - Engineers Edge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A reversible process for a system is defined as a process that, once having taken place, can be reversed, and in so doing leaves no change in either the system or surroundings.
		In reality, there are no truly reversible processes; however, for analysis purposes, one uses reversible to make the analysis simpler, and to determine maximum theoretical efficiencies.
		Therefore, the reversible process is an appropriate starting point on which to base engineering study and calculation.

		Frank has already developed a new set of reversible circuit designs over the last few years, and with the creation of a power supply, will have the core elements to create a fully functional reversible computer system.
		At its simplest, reversible computing is a form of computing in which the system's entropy is nearly constant-no information is discarded, or at least the amount of information that's ever discarded is reduced.
