quantum-dot cellular automata (qca) is an emerging and promising technology that provides significant improvements over cmos. recently qca has been advocated as an applicant for implementing reversible circuits. however qca, like other nanotechnologies, suffers from a high fault rate. the main purpose of this paper is to develop a fault tolerant model of qca circuits by redundancy in hardware a...

reversible logic circuits have found emerging attentions in nanotechnology,optical computing, quantum computing and low power design. a programmablelogic array (pla) is a universal circuit which is used to implement combinationallogic circuits. the main part of a pla is its and array. in this study we propose twotypes of optimized reversible programmable logic array (rpla) circuits. the firstty...

Based on the axiomatization of reversible computing RACP, we generalize it to quantum reversible computing which is called qRACP. By use of the framework of quantum configuration, we show that structural reversibility and quantum state reversibility must be satisfied simultaneously in quantum reversible computation. RACP and qRACP has the same axiomatization modulo the so-called quantum forward...

Reversible computing is a paradigm where computing models are so defined that they reflect physical reversibility, one of the fundamental microscopic physical property of Nature. In this survey/tutorial paper, we discuss how computation can be carried out in a reversible system, how a universal reversible computer can be constructed by reversible logic elements, and how such logic elements are ...

In recent years, reversible logic has emerged as a promising computing paradigm showing its applications in various fields like low power computing, quantum computing, nanotechnology, optical computing and DNA computing. This paper proposes different sequential circuit elements of reversible gates and its application in the designing of different weighted counters. These synchronous reversible ...

Reversible logic is one of the new paradigms for power optimization that can be used instead of the current circuits. Moreover, the fault-tolerance capability in the form of error detection or error correction is a vital aspect for current processing systems. In this paper, as the multiplication is an important operation in computing systems, some novel reversible multiplier designs are propose...
