Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) has been widely advocated in nanotechnology as a response to the physical limits associated with complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology in atomic scales. Some of its peculiar features are its smaller size, higher speed, higher switching frequency, lower power consumption, and higher scale integration. In this technology, the majority and NO...

Quantum cellular automata (QCA) enables performing arithmetic and logic operations at the molecular scale. This nanotechnology promises high device density, low power consumption and high computational power. Unlike the CMOS technology where the ON and OFF states of the transistors represent binary information, in QCA, data is represented by the charge configuration. The primary and basic devic...

Should voter awareness policies and get-out-the-vote movements be promoted? We address this question using a model of political advertising that incorporates both the mobilization and the persuasion aspects of advertising. An uncertainvoter model of two-candidate political competition is proposed, where candidates have fixed symmetric ideological positions and unknown qualities and can use poli...

The standard epistemic justification for inclusiveness in political decision making is the Condorcet Jury Theorem, which states that the probability of a correct decision using majority rule increases in group size (given certain assumptions). Informally, majority rule acts as a mechanism to pool the information contained in the judgements of individual agents. I aim to extend the explanation o...

I introduce a model of corporate voting. I characterize the shareholder majority rule as the unique corporate voting rule that satisfies four axioms: anonymity, neutrality, share monotonicity, and merger, a property that requires consistency in election outcomes following stock-for-stock mergers. JEL classification: D71, D72, K22

In this article, we try to model the effect of changes in threshold voltage two positive inputs negative ones using nanotechnology based on Quantum Dot Cellular automata (QCA). order do so, voter a Majority cell has been modified resulting amplifying upper and lower cells. Besides Brain-inspired approach can be used design very fast function with QCA.

The ternary Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (tQCA) were demonstrated to be a possible candidate for the implementation of a future multi-valued processing platform. Recent papers show that the application of the adiabatic pipelining can be used to solve the issues of the tQCA logic primitives. The architectures of the resulting tQCAs become similar to their binary counterparts and the physical de...

E-voting systems are a powerful technology for improving democracy by reducing election cost, increasing voter participation, and even allowing voters to directly verify the entire election procedure. Unfortunately, prior internet voting systems have single points of failure, which may result in the compromise of availability, voter secrecy, or integrity of the election results. In this paper, ...

Voter registration is an important issue in election processes. In order to protect the election accuracy, it is necessary to have an accurate electoral roll of eligible voters. The electoral roll is usually constructed by means of a voter registration system that compiles voter data either in person or remotely. Current solutions for remote voter registration lack effective methods to prevent ...

Privacy is a necessary requirement for voting. Without privacy, voters can be forced to vote in specific ways, and the forcing party can check their compliance. But offering privacy does not suffice: if a voter can reduce her privacy, an attacker can force her to do so. In this paper, we distinguish various ways that a voter can communicate with the intruder to reduce her privacy and classify t...
