Novel Quaternary Quantum Reversible Half Adder and Full Adder Circuits

Abdollah Norouzi Doshanlou, Majid Haghparast, Mehdi Hosseinzadeh

One of the major problems in designing highly compact digital systems is the rate of power consumption and internal heat generated by the loss of information during the computation. The tendency of current circuit design technologies is towards Nanoscale. Quaternary reversible logic is an emerging technology for the future designing of the quantum systems since quantum reversible circuits can be realized in Nanoscales. The adder building block is an essential part of any computer system. This block must be designed efficiently. We proposed a new quaternary quantum reversible half adder with the quantum cost of 17 and a quaternary quantum reversible full adder with a quantum cost of 23. For the first time in the literature, we report that we proposed quaternary quantum reversible half adder as well as full adder with an optimum number of constant inputs. As the circuit lines in the domain of quantum computation are considered to be a very limited resource, the achievements in this paper are promising. The proposed circuits are efficient in terms of all figures of merits in comparison to the existing counterparts. To design these adder circuits, we used 1-qudit and 2-qudit quaternary gates.

Quantum Energetic Advantage before Computational Advantage in Boson Sampling

Ariane Soret, Nessim Dridi, Stephen C. Wein +3 more

Understanding the energetic efficiency of quantum computers is essential for assessing their scalability and for determining whether quantum technologies can outperform classical computation beyond runtime alone. In this work, we analyze the energy required to solve the Boson Sampling problem, a paradigmatic task for quantum advantage, using a realistic photonic quantum computing architecture. Using the Metric-Noise-Resource methodology, we establish a quantitative connection between experimental control parameters, dominant noise processes, and energetic resources through a performance metric tailored to Boson Sampling. We estimate the energy cost per sample and identify operating regimes that optimize energetic efficiency. By comparing the energy consumption of quantum and state-of-the-art classical implementations, we demonstrate the existence of a quantum energetic advantage -- defined as a lower energy cost per sample compared to the best-known classical implementation -- that emerges before the onset of computational advantage, even in regimes where classical algorithms remain faster. Finally, we propose an experimentally feasible Boson Sampling architecture, including a complete noise and loss budget, that enables a near-term observation of quantum energetic advantage.

Comparison of Energy Requirements for Classical and Quantum Information Processing

By considering the energy requirements of quantum and classical computers we propose a criterion to separate the classical from the quantum regime and show that the classical scaling laws are much more favorable for conventional, general purpose computation.

Classical half-adder using trapped-ion quantum bits: Toward energy-efficient computation

Sagar Silva Pratapsi, Patrick H. Huber, Patrick Barthel +3 more

Reversible computation has been proposed as a future paradigm for energy efficient computation, but so far few implementations have been realized in practice. Quantum circuits, running on quantum computers, are one construct known to be reversible. In this work, we provide a proof-of-principle of classical logical gates running on quantum technologies. In particular, we propose and realize experimentally, Toffoli and Half-Adder circuits suitable for classical computation, using radio frequency-controlled 171Yb+ ions in a macroscopic linear Paul-trap as qubits. We analyze the energy required to operate the logic gates, both theoretically and experimentally, with a focus on the control energy. We identify bottlenecks and possible improvements in future platforms for energetically efficient computation, e.g., trap chips with integrated antennas and cavity qed. Our experimentally verified energetic model also fills a gap in the literature of the energetics of quantum information and outlines the path for its detailed study, as well as its potential applications to classical computing.
