13. If quantum coherence persists over the entire line, then there is a small breaking of the degeneracy which can be interpreted as the appearance of bound states of the kink reflecting off the line ends.
14. As the free energy difference approaches zero, thermal smearing of the output cells becomes significant and it becomes harder to unambiguously perform the read operation.
15. The literature on the issue of the fundamental limits of dissipation in computing is large.
