N ov 1 99 9 Thermal behavior of Quantum Cellular Automaton wires

چکیده
We investigate the effect of a finite temperature on the behavior of logic circuits based on the principle of Quantum Cellular Automata (QCA) and of ground state computation. In particular, we focus on the error probability for a wire of QCA cells that propagates a logic state. A numerical model and an analytical, more approximate, model are presented for the evaluation of the partition function of such a system and, consequently, of the desired probabilities. We compare the results of the two models, assessing the limits of validity of the analytical approach, and provide estimates for the maximum operating temperature.

N ov 1 99 9 Critical behavior of a cellular automaton highway traffic model
We derive the critical behavior of a CA traffic flow model using an order parameter breaking the symmetry of the jam-free phase. Random braking appears to be the symmetry-breaking field conjugate to the order parameter. For v max = 2, we determine the values of the critical exponents β, γ and δ using an order-3 cluster approximation and computer simulations. These critical exponents satisfy a s...

We use analytical methods to investigate cellular automata for traffic flow. Two different mean-field approaches are presented, which we call site-oriented and car-oriented, respectively. The car-oriented mean-field theory yields the exact fundamental diagram for the model with maximum velocity vmax = 1 whereas in the site-oriented approach one has to take into account correlations between near...
متن کاملPower dissipation in clocking wires for clocked molecular quantum-dot cellular automata
In the molecular quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) paradigm clocking wires are used to produce an electric field which is perpendicular to the device plane of surface-bound molecules and is sinusoidally modulated in space and time. This clocking field guides the data flow through the molecular QCA array. Power is dissipated in clocking wires due to the non-zero resistance of the conductors. W...

A stochastic one-dimensional cellular automaton with long range spatial interactions is introduced. In this model the probability state at time t of a given site depends on the state of all the other sites at time t − 1 through a power law of the type 1/r, r being the distance between sites. For α → ∞ this model reduces to the Domany-Kinzel cellular automaton. The dynamical phase diagram is ana...
