[FRIAM] Fredkin/Toffoli, Reversibility and Adiabatic Computing.

Pieter -

Good find.   It lead me to Vaire and then to the Sandia/ABQ work of 
Michael Frank who left to join/found Vaire this summer?   It is possible 
that my renewed interest in reversible computing might have been 
triggered subliminally by some reference to both/either?

I thought I'd been triggered by the combination of the demands of AI and 
on data centers (my daughter closed her gym of 10 years to take a job in 
a data center development startup a year ago... ).

My inability to attribute such things, parallels that of LLMs (or more 
generally transformer models)?
