    Fredkin Gates for Finite-valued Reversible and Conservative Logics

    Full text link
    The basic principles and results of Conservative Logic introduced by Fredkin and Toffoli on the basis of a seminal paper of Landauer are extended to d-valued logics, with a special attention to three-valued logics. Different approaches to d-valued logics are examined in order to determine some possible universal sets of logic primitives. In particular, we consider the typical connectives of Lukasiewicz and Godel logics, as well as Chang's MV-algebras. As a result, some possible three-valued and d-valued universal gates are described which realize a functionally complete set of fundamental connectives.Comment: 57 pages, 10 figures, 16 tables, 2 diagram

    An Holistic Extension for Classical Logic via Quantum Fredkin Gate

    Get PDF
    An holistic extension for classical propositional logic is introduced in the framework of quantum computation with mixed states. The mentioned extension is obtained by applying the quantum Fredkin gate to non-factorizable bipartite states. In particular, an extended notion of classical contradiction is studied in this holistic framework

    Optimized Reversible Logic Multiplexer Designs for Energy-Efficient Nanoscale Computing

    Nano- and quantum-based low-power applications are where reversible logic really shines. By using digitally equivalent circuits with reversible logic gates, energy savings may be achieved. Reducing garbage output and ancilla inputs is a primary emphasis of this study, which aims to lower power consumption in reversible multiplexers. Multiplexers with switchable 2:1, 4:1, and 8:1 ratios may be built using the SJ gate and other simple reversible logic gates. The number of ancilla inputs has been cut in half from four to zero, and the amount of garbage output has been cut in half as well, from eight to three, making the 2:1 multiplexer an improvement over the prior design. New 4:1 multiplexer has 10' ancilla inputs, up from 2' in the previous designs. The proposed 4:1 multiplexer also cuts waste production in half from the current 5-to-6 bins per day. The 8:1 multiplexer has two ancilla inputs and nine trash outputs, while the current architecture only has one of each. The functionality of the VHDL and Xilinx 14.7-coded designs is validated by ISIM simulations

    Regularity and Symmetry as a Base for Efficient Realization of Reversible Logic Circuits

    Get PDF
    We introduce a Reversible Programmable Gate Array (RPGA) based on regular structure to realize binary functions in reversible logic. This structure, called a 2 * 2 Net Structure, allows for more efficient realization of symmetric functions than the methods shown by previous authors. In addition, it realizes many non-symmetric functions even without variable repetition. Our synthesis method to RPGAs allows to realize arbitrary symmetric function in a completely regular structure of reversible gates with smaller “garbage” than the previously presented papers. Because every Boolean function is symmetrizable by repeating input variables, our method is applicable to arbitrary multi-input, multi-output Boolean functions and realizes such arbitrary function in a circuit with a relatively small number of garbage gate outputs. The method can be also used in classical logic. Its advantages in terms of numbers of gates and inputs/outputs are especially seen for symmetric or incompletely specified functions with many outputs

    A Unitary Weights Based One-Iteration Quantum Perceptron Algorithm for Non-Ideal Training Sets

    Full text link
    In order to solve the problem of non-ideal training sets (i.e., the less-complete or over-complete sets) and implement one-iteration learning, a novel efficient quantum perceptron algorithm based on unitary weights is proposed, where the singular value decomposition of the total weight matrix from the training set is calculated to make the weight matrix to be unitary. The example validation of quantum gates {H, S, T, CNOT, Toffoli, Fredkin} shows that our algorithm can accurately implement arbitrary quantum gates within one iteration. The performance comparison between our algorithm and other quantum perceptron algorithms demonstrates the advantages of our algorithm in terms of applicability, accuracy, and availability. For further validating the applicability of our algorithm, a quantum composite gate which consists of several basic quantum gates is also illustrated.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figure

    Cellular Automata Realization of Regular Logic

    Get PDF
    This paper presents a cellular-automatic model of a reversible regular structure called Davio lattice. Regular circuits are investigated because of the requirement of future (nano-) technologies where long wires should be avoided. Reversibility is a valuable feature because it means much lower energy dissipation. A circuit is reversible if the number of its inputs equals the number of its outputs and there is a one-to-one mapping between spaces of input vectors and output vectors. It is believed that one day regular reversible structures will be implemented as nanoscale 3-dimensional chips. This paper introduces the notion of the Toffoli gate and its cellular-automatic implementation, as well as an example of the Davio lattice built exclusively of Toffoli gates and run on a special cellular automaton called CAM-Brain Machine (CBM)

    An all-optical soliton FFT computational arrangement in the 3NLSE-domain

    Get PDF
    In this paper an all-optical soliton method for calculating the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm is presented. The method comes as an extension of the calculation methods (soliton gates) as they become possible in the cubic non-linear Schrödinger equation (3NLSE) domain, and provides a further proof of the computational abilities of the scheme. The method involves collisions entirely between first order solitons in optical fibers whose propagation evolution is described by the 3NLSE. The main building block of the arrangement is the half-adder processor. Expanding around the half-adder processor, the “butterfly” calculation process is demonstrated using first order solitons, leading eventually to the realisation of an equivalent to a full Radix-2 FFT calculation algorithm
