Ryu's article in Ars technica about DNA computing... really nice article (i.e., understandable) that we discussed in class....
As a Ph.D. student, Frank was one of the key players in the group at MIT doing reversible computing, and he's got lots of nice links on the topic.
The PhD thesis on Pendulum, a reversible, adiabatic, processor
Ars Technica has a nice overview of the D-Wave system, which has been highly controversial to say the least.
The following are nice references that we didn't cover in detail in class, but you might care to look at. They're not on any test.
