Thermodynamic and Quantum Mechanical Limitations of Electronic Computation

Fayez Fok Al Adeh

The role of entropy and uncertainty in electronic computations is used to derive a fundamental thermodynamic equation. The thermodynamic limitations of electronic computations are expressed in terms of macroscopic disorder, while quantum mechanical limitations are formulated through uncertainty relationships. Electronic computations are described quantum-mechanically, and hence provide a reasonable argument in favour of the wave interpretation of quantum mechanics.
