Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is a novel, current-free approach to computing at the nanoscale, which, if realized in computing devices, will have broad-reaching effects in the electronics industry. First, the concept of QCA is outlined. Next, personal research topics are proposed, to include the development of theoretical quantum-dynamic models of switching QCA cells; the development of a...

Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a promising, emerging nanotechnology based on single electron effects in quantum dots and molecules. While many logic implementations based on QCA devices have been proposed in literature [6, 7, 8], the inherent cellular structure of QCA cells make it a natural candidate for Cellular Automata (CA) implementation. CA offers regularity and modularity to the ...

Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is a newly-developed nanotechnology for next-generation nanoelectronic circuits. QCA circuits use the propagation of charge polarity in QCA cells to pass information without any current being involved. It has the advantages of extremely small size, low power consumption, high device density and twinkling operation process. Nanofabrication of QCA circuits may ...

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...

We describe an n-dimensional quantum cellular automaton (QCA) capable of simulating all others, in that the initial configuration and the forward evolution of any n-dimensional QCA can be encoded within the initial configuration of the universal QCA. Several steps of the universal QCA then correspond to one step of the simulated QCA. The simulation preserves the topology in the sense that each ...

complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (cmos) technology has been the industry standard to implement very large scale integrated (vlsi) devices for the last two decades. due to the consequences of miniaturization of such devices (i.e. increasing switching speeds, increasing complexity and decreasing power consumption), it is essential to replace them with a new technology. quantum-dot cellular...

BACKGROUND The physiological assessment of angiographically intermediate-severity stenoses remains problematic. Functional measurements of poststenotic intracoronary Doppler coronary flow reserve can be performed in humans but have not been correlated with hyperemic myocardial perfusion imaging or angiographic data in this patient population. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty-three patients undergoi...
