Paper Title : Exploring Quantum Dot Cellular Automata Based Reversible Circuit
Author Name : Saroj Kumar Chandra, Deepak Kant Netam
Abstract :

Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a new technology for development of logic circuits based on nanotechnology, and it is an one of the alternative for designing high performance computing over existing CMOS technology. The basic logic in QCA does not use voltage level for logic representation rather it represent binary state by polarization of electrons on the Quantum Cell which is basic building block of QCA. Extensive work is going on QCA for circuit design due to low power consumption and regularity in the circuit.. Clocking is used in QCA circuit to synchronize and control the information flow and to provide the power to run the circuit. Reversible logic design is a well-known paradigm in digital computation, and if circuit developed is reversible then it consumes very low power. Here, in this paper we are presenting a Reversible Universal Gate (RUG) based on Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA). The RUG implemented by QCA Designer tool and also its behavior is simulated by it.
