Abstract

Reversible logic is the emerging topic for research due to its advantage of low energy consumption. Fault tolerant circuit design is required to give error free outputs. In this paper we present an optimized n bit Reversible Fault Tolerant Comparator design using parity preserving reversible logic gates. The Design involves MSB comparison as the first stage followed by Next Bit comparison stage which contributes for 1 bit garbage-less comparator design. The Design is generalized for n bit comparison. The performance parameters are analyzed for n bit. Our work outperforms the existing reversible fault tolerant comparator designs in terms of garbage output and Ancilla inputs or constant inputs. This efficiency of our design helps in reducing the footprint of the design.

Design and Optimization of n-bit Reversible Binary Comparator

H. G. Rangaraju, Vinayak Hegde, K. Raja +1 more

Reversible logic has attracted significance attention in recent years, leading to different approaches such as synthesis, optimization, simulation and verification. In this paper, we propose the design and optimization of n-bit reversible binary comparator. The circuit for MSB and one-bit comparator cell using NOT, PG and CNOT gates are designed. The n-bit reversible binary comparator is designed using circuit for MSB as first stage to compare MSBs and one-bit comparator cell as second stage and so on to compare lesser significant bit positions. The power consumption, delay, garbage outputs and constant inputs are computed. It is observed that the quantum cost and garbage output values are less in the proposed technique compared to the existing approaches.

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.

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.

Towards implementation of fault tolerant reversible circuits

Anugrah Jain, Sushil Chandra Jain

Reversible computing is gaining importance in order to achieve low power consumption, high speed and packaging density in VLSI circuits. It has applications in various other fields such as quantum computing, nanotechnology, DNA computing, optical computing, cryptography and informatics. In order to achieve reliable circuits in reversible computing provision for fault tolerance is necessary. To achieve fault tolerance, the first stage is to identify occurrence of fault. To detect the occurrence, parity preserving technique has been reported in literature. This paper presents a new 4*4 parity preserving reversible logic gate PPTG (Parity Preserving Toffoli Gate) and its quantum realization. After that two new parity preserving implementations are presented in this paper. These implementations are used towards the development of fault tolerant reversible circuits. By which substitution becomes efficient and minimum in terms of constant inputs and garbage outputs. It permits us to use existing benchmarks preserving parity with only one additional circuit line.
