Objective

Design a Modified Fredkin Gate in QCA • Propose a new layout / architecture of the Fredkin gate using Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata (QCA), improving on prior designs. • Ensure that the modified Fredkin gate is reversible (i.e., bijective mapping of inputs to outputs) to minimize information loss.

Abstract

Reversible logic has emerged as a promising approach to minimize energy dissipation in nanoscale computing systems. This work presents the design of a reversible logic circuit using a Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) based modified Fredkin gate. The proposed design leverages the inherent advantages of QCA technology, including high device density and low power consumption, while maintaining logical reversibility to eliminate information loss. The modified Fredkin gate is optimized for QCA implementation, reducing cell count and circuit complexity compared to conventional designs. Simulation results demonstrate the correctness and efficiency of the proposed reversible circuits, highlighting their potential for low-power nanoelectronic applications in arithmetic operations, memory, and quantum computing systems.
