Abstract

Quantum computation is modeled by quantum circuits. All the quantum operations are reversible so the quantum circuits can be built using reversible logic gates. Reversible computing is the emerging technology, its major role is in the field of quantum computing, optical computing, and design of low power nanocircuits. The most frequently used computational unit for digital signal processing and multimedia applications is multiplier. To compute square of an operand, regular multipliers are used in general. This paper proposes a dedicated quantum circuit for computing square of an operand efficiently compared to the existing multipliers in the literature. The squaring unit is mathematically modeled and its metrics quantum cost, garbage outputs and ancilla input, gate count are calculated. We compared the proposed design with the existing multipliers to compute square and found that proposed square unit is efficient in terms of quantum cost, garbage outputs, ancilla inputs and gate count. The proposed reversible square circuit has 63% to 85% improvement of quantum cost, garbage outputs, ancilla inputs and gate count over existing reversible multiplier circuits.

Ancilla-Input and Garbage-Output Optimized Design of a Reversible Quantum Integer Multiplier

A reversible logic has application in quantum computing. A reversible logic design needs resources such as ancilla and garbage qubits to reconfigure circuit functions or gate functions. The removal of garbage qubits and ancilla qubits are essential in designing an efficient quantum circuit. In the literature, there are multiple designs that have been proposed for a reversible multiplication operation. A multiplication hardware is essential for the circuit design of quantum algorithms, quantum cryptanalysis, and digital signal processing (DSP) applications. The existing designs of reversible quantum integer multipliers suffer from redundant garbage qubits. In this work, we propose a reversible logic based, garbage-free and ancilla qubit optimized design of a quantum integer multiplier. The proposed quantum integer multiplier utilizes a novel add and rotate methodology that is specially suitable for a reversible computing paradigm. The proposed design methodology is the modified version of a conventional shift and add method. The proposed design of the quantum integer multiplier incorporates add or no operation based on multiplier qubits and followed by a rotate right operation. The proposed design of the quantum integer multiplier produces zero garbage qubits and shows an improvement ranging from 60% to 90% in ancilla qubits count over the existing work on reversible quantum integer multipliers.

Circuit for Reversible Quantum Multiplier Based on Binary Tree Optimizing Ancilla and Garbage Bits

Saurabh Kotiyal, Himanshu Thapliyal, Nagarajan Ranganathan

Reversible logic has emerged as a promising computing paradigm having applications in quantum computing, optical computing, dissipation less computing and low power computing etc. In reversible logic there exists a one to one mapping between the input and output vectors. Reversible circuits require constant ancilla inputs for reconfiguration of gate functions and garbage outputs that help in keeping reversibility. Quantum circuits of many qubits are extremely difficult to realize thus reduction in the number of ancilla inputs and the garbage outputs is the primary goal of optimization. In existing literature researchers have proposed several designs of reversible quantum multipliers based on reversible full adders and reversible half adders. The use of reversible full adders and the half adders for the addition of partial products increases the overhead in terms of number of ancilla inputs and number of garbage outputs. This paper presents a binary tree based design methodology for a NxN reversible quantum multiplier. The proposed binary tree based design methodology for NxN reversible quantum multiplier performs the addition of partial products in parallel using the reversible ripple quantum adders with no garbage output and ancilla bit, thereby minimizing the number of ancilla and garbage bits used in the design. The proposed design methodology shows the improvement of 17.86% to 60.34% in terms of ancilla inputs; and 21.43% to 52.17% in terms of garbage outputs compared to all the existing reversible quantum multiplier designs.

Squaring in reversible logic using iterative structure

Arindam Banerjee, Debesh Kumar Das

Digital multipliers are indispensable in Digital signal processing and cryptography. In many mathematical computations, squaring and cubing are frequently used. Generally the multiplier is used in computing square. But the implementation of squaring has the advantage that we can avoid the generation of many partial products used in multipliers by eliminating the redundant bits, thus resulting the circuit to be simpler with less hardware, propagation delay and power consumption. Our work proposes two designs of dedicated squaring techniques in reversible circuits. We use the recursion to achieve our design. The design for n bits is recursively obtained by appending some extra circuitry with the design for (n-1) bits. Our techniques make optimum use of ancillary inputs, garbage outputs and quantum cost and compare favourably with the recent work [1] in this area. Both the designs are having modular structures and can be systemically designed.

Reversible logic; transforms logic signal in a way that allows the original input signals to be recovered from the produced outputs, has attracted great attention because of its application in diverse areas such as quantum computing, low power computing, nanotechnology, DNA computing, quantum dot cellular automata, optical computing. In this paper, we design low power binary comparators using reversible logic gates. Firstly, single bit binary reversible comparator circuits are designed using different reversible gates along with proposed gate named Newly Proposed Gate. Then, these procedures are generalized for constructing binary n-bit reversible comparator circuit. The design synthesis consists of two parts: Comparator Cell and Propagator Cell. An algorithm, based on our proposed design, shows that proposed circuit reduces overall cost and it outperforms than existing sequential comparator circuits. Also, comparing with existing tree-based comparator circuit, proposed design reduces quantum cost, garbage output and gate count in a significance level which means better improvement as cost of any quantum circuit is directly associated with quantum cost, garbage output and gate count.

Design of Ancilla Invariant and Quantum Cost efficient reversible arithmetic components

H. V. Jayashree, V.K. Agrawal

Reversible computing is an emerging field of research and has made remarkable progress. Owing to the reduced energy dissipation in reversible circuits, a lot of research has been done on the design of reversible circuits. In reversible logic circuit designs, along with primary inputs, few constant inputs (Ancilla Inputs) are used to realize required reversible functions. In addition to this, few unused or extra output bits are generated; these bits are named as Garbage Output bits. A challenge in the reversible computation is to use minimum Ancilla Inputs and generate zero Garbage Outputs. In this work, we present designs for addition, subtraction, and addition or subtraction operations. The designs are primarily optimized to achieve zero Garbage Outputs and minimum Ancilla Inputs. In addition, these proposed arithmetic circuits are designed for best Gate Count and Quantum Cost values compared to the existing counterparts.

Reversible logic circuits have received significant attention in quantum computing, low power CMOS design, optical information processing, DNA computing, bioinformatics, and nanotechnology. This paper presents two new 4 × 4 bit reversible multiplier designs which have lower hardware complexity, less garbage bits, less quantum cost and less constant inputs than previous ones, and can be generalized to construct efficient reversible n × n bit multipliers. An implementation of reversible HNG is also presented. This implementation shows that the full adder design using HNG is one of the best designs in term of quantum cost. An implementation of MKG is also presented in order to have a fair comparison between our proposed reversible multiplier designs and the existing counterparts. The proposed reversible multipliers are optimized in terms of quantum cost, number of constant inputs, number of garbage outputs and hardware complexity. They can be used to construct more complex systems in nanotechnology.
