Among the emerging technologies recently proposed as alternatives to the classic CMOS, Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is one of the most promising solutions to design area efficient and very high speed digital circuits. As transistors decrease in size more and more of them can be accommodated in a single die, thus increasing chip computational capabilities. However, transistors cannot get ...

Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is one of the most substitute emerging nanotechnologies for electronic circuits, because of lower power consumption, higher speed and smaller size in comparison with CMOS technology.

To determine the reliability of geometric (edge-detection) quantitative coronary angiographic analysis (QCA) of restenosis within a new Cordis tantalum stent, QCA and intracoronary ultrasound (ICUS) measurements were compared in both an experimental restenosis model and in the clinical follow-up of patients. In the experimental series, Plexiglas phantom vessels with concentric stenosis channels...

OBJECTIVES There is limited data on how well 2D-QCA and OCT agree with each other for measurement of coronary artery lumen dimensions. We aimed to assess the agreement between the two modalities. METHODS Patients undergoing OCT for assessment of coronary artery lesions were reviewed. Minimum luminal diameter (MLD), proximal reference diameter and distal reference diameter were measured for ea...

by Minjun Yan Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is an emerging, promising, future generation computational architecture that encodes binary information into the positions of electrons. The switching and logic function of this transistorless architecture has already been realized in metal QCA and magnetic QCA. “Bottom-up” molecular implementation may not only circumvent the lithography limits,...

Over the last two decades , quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) has received significant attention as an emerging computing technology (Lent et al., 1993). The basic elements in this technology are the QCA cells, as shown in Fig. 1. Each cell contains two mobile electrons and four quantum dots located in the corners. As per the occupancy of the electrons in the dots, a QCA cell can take differe...

Design paradigms of logic circuits with Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) have been extensively studied in the recent past. Unfortunately, due to the lack of mature fabrication support, QCA-based circuits often suffer from various types of manufacturing defects and variations, and therefore, are unreliable and error-prone. QCA-based Exclusive-OR (XOR) gates are frequently used in the construc...

Quantum dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is one of the important nano-level technologies for implementation of both combinational and sequential systems.
