Further downscaling of CMOS technology becomes challenging as it faces limitation of feature size reduction. Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA), a potential alternative to CMOS, promises efficient digital design at nanoscale. Investigations on the reduction of QCA primitives (majority gates and inverters) for various adders are limited, and very few designs exist for reference. As a result, de...

Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) seek potential benefits over CMOS devices such as low power consumption, small dimensions, and high speed operation. Two prominent QCA concerns of wire crossing complexity and circuit robustness are addressed by developing a three-step Bilayer Logic Decomposition (BLD) methodology to design QCA-based logic circuits. The partitioning of QCA computing operation...

Utilization of binary information encoded in the charge configuration of quantum-dot cells (the quantum-dot cellular automata, QCA, paradigm) requires molecule-sized dots for room temperature operation. Molecular QCA cells are mixed-valence complexes, and the evaluation and functionalization of an unsymmetrical heterobinuclear, two-dot, Fe-Ru molecular QCA cell is described. The solid state str...

Due to the development of integrated circuits and lack responsiveness existing technology, researchers are looking for an alternative technology. Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) technology is one promising alternatives due its higher switch speed, lower power dissipation, device density. One most important widely used in digital logic calculations full adder (FA) circuit, which actually cre...

Quantum-dot cellular automaton (QCA) is an up-coming nanotechnology in the area of nanoelectronics and is found to be an alternative solution to replace conventional CMOS technology for several reasons. It has attractive features such as faster speed, smaller size, and low power consumption compared to transistor-based technology. The experiments carried out in QCA demonstrated and realized the...

In recent years low power and small size are the keyword in the IC industry. This is where the importance of reversible gate and QCA (Quantum dot cellular automata) comes in. In nonreversible gates there is a definite amount of power loss involved. Interest in reversible computation arises from the desire to reduce heat dissipation, thereby allowing – higher densities and higher speed. The QCA ...

Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata (QCA) are an emerging field-coupled nanotechnology with remarkable performance and energy efficiency. In order to enable the exploration of this technology, we propose a model for the logic synthesis of QCA circuits that, for the first time, considers and abstracts all main physical aspects—in particular, energy dissipation. To this end, we review in detail how ene...

The present manuscript deals with the realization of Processing In-memory (PIM) computing architecture using Quantum Dot Cellular Automata (QCA) and Akers array. The PIM computing architecture becomes popular due to its effective framework for storage and computation of data in a single unit. Here, we illustrate two input NAND and NOR gate with the help of QCA based Akers Array as case study. T...
