Scaling beyond CMOS: Turing-Heisenberg Rapprochement

Abstract The primary objective of this study is to explore the connection of the device physics in the Boltzmann–Heisenberg limits and the parameters of the digital circuits implemented from these devices. We offer an abstraction of a Minimal Turing Machine built from the limiting devices and circuits, thus Turing-Heisenberg Rapprochement . The analysis suggests a possible limit to computational performance similar to the Carnot efficiency limit for heat engines.
