The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) recently hosted a visioning workshop on Thermodynamic Computing. This episode of the Catalyzing Computing podcast features an interview with workshop organizers, Tom Conte (Georgia Tech) and Todd Hylton (UC San Diego) to discuss their reasons for proposing the workshop, what thermodynamic computing is, and the potential impact that thermodynamic computing could have on future technology.

Workshop participant Christof Teuscher (Portland State University) also shares his thoughts on the workshop and his work with new models of computation, including computing with DNA.
