Abstract

In [1] we have presented the reversible subtractor designs based on a new reversible TR gate (TR refers to Thapliyal Ranganathan). In [1] as the quantum gates implementation of the TR gate was not known, only the upper bound on the quantum cost of the reversible subtractors units were established. In this work, we present a new design of the reversible half subtractor based on the quantum gates implementation of the reversible TR gate. The reversible TR gate is designed from 2×2 quantum gates such as CNOT and Controlled-V and Controlled-V+gates. The design of the proposed reversible half subtractor is shown to be better than the design presented in [2], [1] in terms of the quantum cost and delay while maintaining the minimum number of garbage outputs. Further, we present a new design of the reversible full subtractor based on the proposed quantum gates implementation of the TR gate. The proposed reversible full subtractor is optimized in terms of quantum cost, delay and garbage outputs by utilizing the identity property of V and V+reversible gates. The proposed reversible full subtractor is shown to be better than the existing design reported in [3], [1]. The reversible subtractors proposed in this work will be useful in a number of digital signal processing applications.

Design of Reversible Binary Half and Full Adder/Subtractor Using Reversible Gates

Arwa S. Bazmalah, Noorfazila Kamal

The power consumption in classical computers has grown to be a critical issue. Thus, quantum computers have become a promising alternative to classical computers for more processing power and lower energy consumption. Reversible gates are important for building the quantum computers. Reversible circuits have various applications, such as digital signal processing, optical computing, quantum computing, etc. The design and synthesis of reversible gates and circuits have grown in popularity and attracted the attention of many researchers. The adder and subtractor are important computation blocks for the structure of the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU). In this paper, a design of reversible binary half and full adders and subtractors using reversible logic gates is proposed. The TR (Thapliyal Ranganathan) and Peres gates are used to construct the reversible half adder and subtractor circuit. Meanwhile, the Double Peres Gate (DPG), Fredkin, and NOT gates are used to build the reversible 1-bit full adder and subtractor circuit. The designs are optimized in terms of number of gates, constant inputs, garbage outputs, and quantum cost. The truth table representation and the Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) synthesis method are used to represent and synthesize the circuits, respectively. The circuits are synthesized and simulated using the Verilog Hardware Description Language code and Xilinx ISE 14.7. The results show that the proposed designs achieve the lowest quantum cost in both half adder/subtractor and full adder/subtractor. As the half adder/subtractor has six quantum cost and the full adder/subtractor has nine quantum cost.

Quantum Gate Implementation of a Novel Reversible Half Adder and Subtractor Circuit

Rajkumar Sarma, Ritika Jain

In this research work, the transistor level implementation and QCA implementation of TR reversible gate are performed and a comparison between both techniques on the ground of Area is executed. In the later section, a new-fangled design of the reversible adder and subtractor RSG gate is presented. This novel architecture can perform addition and subtraction operation simultaneously, which was never performed before using any of the existing reversible circuits. The proposed novel reversible gate, which uses 2X2 quantum gates and has a quantum cost of five, can be operated as Reversible Half Adder as well as Half Subtractor concurrently. The reversible gate proposed in this research will find numerous applicability in several DSP applications where half adder and half subtractor operates simultaneously.

A New Approach to Design of Cost-Efficient Reversible Quantum Dual-Full Adder and Subtractor

Heranmoy Maity, Mousam Chatterjee, Susmita Biswas +5 more

This paper proposed the design and development of reversible cost-efficient innovative quantum dual-full adder and subtractor or QD-FAS circuit using quantum gate. The proposed circuit can be used as full adder and full subtractor simultaneously, which is designed using double Peres gate or DPG and Feynman gate or FG. The quantum cost, garbage output and constant input of the QD-FAS is 8, 1 and 1. Which is better w.r.t previously reported work. The QD-FAS circuit, as proposed, includes shared sum and difference terminals, as well as a carry-out and a borrow output terminal. Notably, this innovation showcases a remarkable 27.27% reduction in quantum cost. The improvement in garbage output is even more striking, showing a 50% enhancement. When assessing the overall advancement in quantum cost, it falls within the range of 27.27% to 66.66%. To confirm the viability of this design, extensive testing is carried out using the IBM Qiskit simulator. This design holds significant importance in a variety of applications, including quantum computing, cryptography, and the realm of reversible Arithmetic Logic Units (ALU).

A High-Speed Quantum Reversible Controlled Adder/Subtractor Circuit

Negin Mashayekhi, Mohammad Reza Reshadinezhad, Shekoofeh Moghimi

Reversible logic is becoming increasingly important with the rise of technologies like quantum computing, as it retains information during computation and maintains a direct match between each input and its corresponding output. Quantum circuits are inherently reversible and the best computational model in quantum computing systems. Quantum computers require quantum processors. A critical component of any computer's processor is the arithmetic component, that handles binary operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Notably, multiplication can be accomplished by repeatedly adding, while division can be carried out by repeatedly subtracting. This paper proposes a new design of quantum-controlled adder/subtractor (QCAS) with efficient quantum criteria like delay, quantum cost, number of ancilla and of garbage outputs. We propose a quantum reversible controlled full adder/subtractor block which is applied to construct an n-bit quantum adder/subtractor circuit. The proposed circuit is simulated using the Quirk online tool and the result confirms the accuracy of the design. This design achieves 28.5% and 61.3% improvement in delay and garbage outputs, and 14% and 41.2% increase in quantum cost and constant input, compared to its counterpart, respectively.
