Beyond CMOS: Emerging Concepts and Limits

This lecture explores the fundamental limits to power dissipation in computing, including the Landauer limit and Von Neumann architecture. It delves into emerging concepts using 2D materials, such as memory in logic and valley/spintronics. Experimental verification of the Landauer principle is discussed, along with the implications for switching energy. The lecture also covers the potential of excitonic devices and their applications in reversible computing.
