We examine the energy dissipated by a two-state quantum system during switching operation when interacting with thermal environment. For an isolated system, excess decreases exponentially time. classically damped systems, dissipation linearly model coupled to environment using Lindblad equation for density matrix. rapid switching, exponential adiabaticity holds. slow enough damping from bath yi...

Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a transistor-less technology. In QCA, Columbic repulsion between electrons in the quantum dots makes data transfer possible. This paper presents design of flip flops using proposed Rotated-Normal Cells with Displacement (RND) inverter and cell interaction method. The SR latch, Flip Flop (FF), D FF, T FF are developed QCA. gives total average energy dissipa...

quantum-dot cellular automaton (qca) is a novel nanotechnology with a very different computational method in compared with cmos, whereas placement of electrons in cells indicates digital information. this nanotechnology with specifications such as fast speed, high parallel processing, small area, low power consumption and higher switching frequency becomes a promising candidate for cmos technol...

Quantum dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is one of the important nano-level technologies for implementation of both combinational and sequential systems. QCA have the potential to achieve low power dissipation and operate high speed at THZ frequencies. However large probability of occurrence fabrication defects in QCA, is a fundamental challenge to use this emerging technology. Because of these vari...

Physical limitations of Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductors (CMOS) technology at nanoscale and high cost of lithography have provided the platform for creating Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA)-based hardware. The QCA is a new technology that promises smaller, cheaper and faster electronic circuits, and has been regarded as an effective solution for scalability problems in CMOS technolog...
