While still relatively “new”, the quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) appears to be able to provide many of the properties and functionalities that have made CMOS successful over the past several decades. Early experiments have demonstrated and realized most, if not all, of the “fundamentals” needed for a computational circuit – devices, logic gates, wires, etc. This study introduces the beginn...

Electronics is more or less analog in nature, this applies to both the analog and digital circuits. Several transistors and other parts are needed for a single digital gate. However, this could change in the future. The concept of quantum computation has gained attention during the recent years, different architectures such as quantum-dot cellular autom-ata (QCA) [7] have been proposed. Unlike ...

The most important mathematical operation is addition. Other operations such as subtraction, multiplication and division are usually implemented by adders. An efficient adder can be of great assistance in designing arithmetic circuits. QCA is a promising technology which seems to be a good candidate for the next generation of digital systems. So, an efficient QCA full-adder will facilitate crea...

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...

Processing in Memory (PIM) is a computing paradigm that promises enormous gain in processing speed by eradicating latencies in the typical von Neumann architecture. It has gained popularity owing to its throughput by embedding storage and computation of data in a single unit. We portray implementation of Akers array architecture endowed with PIM computation using Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (...
