A shuffled deck, after shuffled, has only one state, the specific ordering of the cards it contains. Maybe an example with a deck with glued cards vs one with loose cards would make more sense ? Or is the number of possible end states of shuffling an ordered deck is lower than a random ordered one? Debatable if you need to assumed a perfect shuffling process … (unless, off course, I am missing something in understanding about entropy)
The physics of how reversible computing is possible are beyond me in all honesty. But it sounds like something that'd be quackery like cold fusion or a room temperature superconductor

Nice survey. Thanks!
