Taking this to its logical extreme, photonic computing should be significantly more efficient than electronic computing. Eventually.

Is that the end-game? Is there anything that would theoretically get closer to the Landauer limit than photonic computing? It’s way out of my element but I suppose this is a good venue to ask the question.
