You seem to be quoting [0]. This isn't really my area of expertise, but the 4K referenced here seems to be the operating temperature. I imagine the thermodynamics of moving data around changes if you have room-temperature superconducting materials and aren't constrained to cryogenic computing, but I am not really sure what the impact would be on mitigating (or exacerbating) this kind of data transfer cost.
