Bridged Quantum Cellular Automata based on Si/SiO2 Superlattices
نویسنده
چکیده
The new architecture for quantum cellular automata is offered. A QCA cell includes two layers nc-Si, divided by a dielectric. Among themselves cells are connected by the bridge from a conductive material. The comparison is made between this and QCA, offered earlier by C. Lent's group. Keywords—quantum cellular automata (QCA), nc-Si, Si/SiO2 superlattices, parallel computing

متن کاملQuantum-dot Devices and Quantum-dot Cellular Automata
We discuss novel nanoelectronic architecture paradigms based on cells composed of coupled quantum-dots. Boolean logic functions may be implemented in specific arrays of cells representing binary information, the so-called Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata (QCA). Cells may also be viewed as carrying analog information and we outline a network-theoretic description of such Quantum-Dot Nonlinear Netwo...

متن کاملReduction of lattice thermal conductivity in one-dimensional quantum-dot superlattices due to phonon filtering
One dimensional quantum-dot superlattices (1D-QDSLs) consisting of acoustically mismatched materials are demonstrated theoretically to possess sub-1 W m−1 K−1 thermal conductivity in the 50–400 K range of temperatures. We consider coherent Si/Ge 1D-QDSLs, as well as model Si/plastic, Si/SiO2 and Si/SiC 1D-QDSLs. The phonon energy spectra and group velocities are obtained in the framework of the...
