: The research group in Japan sought to create a superconductor microprocessor that’s adiabatic, meaning that, in principle, energy is not gained or lost from the system during the computing process.

I thought that there was a law of information theory that requires expending energy, I think it's Landauer's principle. It seems to be disputed though.
