Abstract

Multiplexer and demultiplexer circuits are among the main circuits in designing the complicated hardware. Therefore, enhancing their performance is very important. In the last few years one of the cases that got the attention of the researchers is designing circuits with low power. Using the reversible logic in designing the circuits can reduce power dissipation and power consumption. Using the ternary logic also leads to a better performance, reducing the power consumption and enhancing of fault tolerance in reversible circuits. In this paper, we have presented quantum reversible ternary multiplexer and demultiplexer circuits, we have used reversible ternary shift and controlled Feynman gates. Presented circuits in this paper have a better performance in compared to the previous designs. The improvements are reported.

Efficient and scalable designs for ternary quantum reversible multiplexer and demultiplexer systems

Abstract In recent years, ternary reversible logic has become a promising paradigm for advancing low-power, high-performance quantum digital systems that preserve information and are energy efficient. This paper focuses on two primary objectives: first, the efficient realization of ternary reversible $$3 \times 1$$ 3 × 1 multiplexers and $$1 \times 3$$ 1 × 3 demultiplexers using quantum gates, specifically 1-qutrit Shift and 3-qutrit Controlled Feynman gates, and second, the design of generalized $$n \times 1$$ n × 1 multiplexers and $$1 \times n$$ 1 × n demultiplexers. The proposed $$9 \times 1$$ 9 × 1 multiplexer we propose in this study has demonstrated notable improvements in terms of quantum cost (20%), depth (18%), number of constant inputs (60%), and garbage outputs (30%), while the proposed $$1 \times 9$$ 1 × 9 demultiplexer shows a 20% reduction in quantum cost, a 18% reduction in depth, a 33% reduction in constant inputs, and a 50% reduction in garbage outputs, compared to the most efficient existing designs. These optimizations represent an important step forward in the development of more efficient ternary and quantum reversible logic circuits, advancing the scalability of quantum systems.

Quaternary Reversible Circuit Optimization for Scalable Multiplexer and Demultiplexer

Asma Taheri Monfared, Valentina Ciriani, Tommi Mikkonen +1 more

Information loss is generally related to power consumption. Therefore, reducing information loss is an interesting challenge in designing digital systems. Quaternary reversible circuits have received significant attention due to their low-power design applications and attractive advantages over binary reversible logic. Multiplexer and demultiplexer circuits are crucial parts of computing circuits in ALU, and their efficient design can significantly affect the processors’ performance. A new scalable realization of quaternary reversible$4\times 1$multiplexer and$1\times 4$demultiplexer, based on quaternary 1-qudit Shift, 3-qudit Controlled Feynman, and 2-qudit Muthukrishnan-Stroud gates, is presented in this paper. Moreover, the corresponding generalized quaternary reversible$n\times 1$multiplexer and$1\times n$demultiplexer circuits are proposed. The comparison, with respect to the current literature, shows that the proposed circuits are more efficient in terms of quantum cost, the number of garbage outputs, and the number of constant inputs.

Novel qutrit circuit design for multiplexer, De-multiplexer, and decoder

Asma Taheri Monfared, Valentina Ciriani, Lauri Kettunen +1 more

Abstract Designing conventional circuits present many challenges, including minimizing internal power dissipation. An approach to overcoming this problem is utilizing quantum technology, which has attracted significant attention as an alternative to Nanoscale CMOS technology. The reduction of energy dissipation makes quantum circuits an up-and-coming emerging technology. Ternary logic can potentially diminish the quantum circuit width, which is currently a limitation in quantum technologies. Using qutrit instead of qubit could play an essential role in the future of quantum computing. First, we propose two approaches for quantum ternary decoder circuit in this context. Then, we propose a quantum ternary multiplexer and quantum ternary demultiplexer to exploit the constructed quantum ternary decoder circuit. Techniques to achieve lower quantum cost are of importance. We considered two types of circuits, one in which the output states are always restored to the initial input states and the other in which the states of the output are irrelevant. We compare the proposed quantum ternary circuits with their existing counterparts and present the improvements. It is possible to realize the proposed designs using macro-level ternary gates that are based on the ion-trap realizable ternary 2-qutrit Muthukrishnan–Stroud and 1-qutrit permutation gates.

Design of a novel quantum reversible ternary up-counter

Pouran Houshmand, Majid Haghparast

Reversible logic has been recently considered as an interesting and important issue in designing combinational and sequential circuits. The combination of reversible logic and multi-valued logic can improve power dissipation, time and space utilization rate of designed circuits. Only few works have been reported about sequential reversible circuits and almost there are no paper exhibited about quantum ternary reversible counter. In this paper, first we designed 2-qutrit and 3-qutrit quantum reversible ternary up-counters using quantum ternary reversible T-flip-flop and quantum reversible ternary gates. Then we proposed generalized quantum reversible ternary n-qutrit up-counter. We also introduced a new approach for designing any type of n-qutrit ternary and reversible counter. According to the results, we can conclude that applying second approach quantum reversible ternary up-counter is better than the others.

Reversibility plays an important role when computations with minimal energy dissipation are considered. The main purpose of designing reversible logic is to decrease the number of reversible gates, garbage outputs, constant inputs, quantum cost, area, power, delay and hardware complexity of the reversible circuits. This paper reveals a comparative review on various reversible logic gates.
