Design specifications of reversible logic using CMOS and quantum dot cellular automata

Abstract

Reversible Logic is solitary emerging technology that that promises zero-power dissipation. Multiple function generation, low-power VLSI, optical information processing, and quantum computing are the main applications of this logic. Without the reversible logic quantum computing is not implemented. This paper focuses on the designing of reversible logic gates and their design specifications using CMOS and QCA. The reversible gates are used in redesigning of intricate systems that are embedded with reversible circuits as a primal component and execute multiple sets of instruction in quantum computers. The reversible circuits shape the indispensable building block architecture of quantum-based computers as all quantum operations are destined to be reversible. These gates are implemented and results are shown in Cadence Virtuoso and QCADesigner version 2.0.3.
