The prediction and forthcoming of a quantum computer into the real-world is the much gained research area over the last decades, which initiated the usefulness and profit of reversible computation because of its potentiality to reduce power consumption in designing arithmetic circuits. In this paper, two design approaches are proposed for the design of a reversible Binary-Coded-Decimal adder. The first approach is implemented and realized from reversible gates proposed by researchers in the technical literature capable of breaking down into primitive quantum gates, whereas the second approach is realized from the existing synthesizable reversible gates only. Parallel implementations of such circuits have been carried out through the proper selection and arrangements of the gates to improve the reversible performance parameters. The proposed design approaches offer a low quantum cost along-with lower delay and hardware complexity for any n-digit addition. Analysis results of proposed design 1 show appreciable improvements over gate count, quantum cost, and delay by at least 9 %, 17 %, and 26 % respectively, whereas, the proposed design 2 show that the results significantly improve the parameters (gate count, quantum cost, and delay) by at least 45 %, 33 %, and 50 % respectively compared to existing counterparts found in the literature.

At present, the reduction of circuit design power is a prime research topic. The reversible computation satisfies the criteria of the power consumption reduction compared to the traditional logic design. Thereby, reversible computation is gaining much attention in recent decades. Two reversible design approaches of binary-coded-decimal (BCD) to densely-packed-decimal (DPD) converter (encoder) and two design approaches of DPD to BCD converter (decoder) are proposed in this paper. The designs are carried out through the appropriate selection of the gates and further proper organization of such gates with parallel implementation. The proposed design approaches offer a low quantum cost implementation compared to state-of-the-art design. The cost results analysis of reversible DPD encoder shows appreciable reduction by at least ~23%, and that of decoder by at least ~62% compared to the state-of-art design found in the literature. Furthermore, the structures are decomposed into the primitive-quantum-gates and compressed in compact form for delay calculation
The quantum and reversible paradigm merges the principles of quantum mechanics and reversible computation to enable information-preserving processing. It supports next-generation computing architectures that provide improved scalability and enhanced computational efficiency. Within these architectures, the decimal adder is a key arithmetic component, particularly for Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) operations widely used in financial and commercial systems. However, most reversible BCD adders focus primarily on quantum and reversible metrics, overlooking the critical influence of delay, which makes balanced optimization a significant challenge. This paper presents two reversible BCD adder designs optimized for both delay and quantum cost. One design integrates the decimal carry-skip technique to improve the overall delay. Using reversible logic gates, the proposed architectures efficiently perform BCD addition and implement the required correction logic while maintaining full reversibility. Evaluation results indicate that the proposed designs surpass existing reversible BCD adders, achieving best-case average improvements of 85.12% in delay and 30.75% in quantum cost. These advancements demonstrate the potential of the proposed adders for integration into future quantum-based arithmetic units and scalable reversible computing systems. Moreover, analysis of real banking transaction data underscores the practical importance of BCD addition and its widespread use in accurate and efficient monetary computations.
Over the last few decades, research in reversible logic has increasingly become very popular and it is gaining greater momentum in the present word. Reversible logic has started finding concert applications in quantum computing, optical computing, nano-technology based system, low-power CMOS design, VLSI design. The principal objective of this work is to argue for quantum implementation of various reversible logic gates by using C-NOT, Controlled-V and Controlled-V+ gates. The present work presents Binary coded decimal adder (BCD) in terms of number of gates, garbage outputs, quantum cost, delay and hardware complexity compared to existing design.
Within this paper, the authors introduce a new cost optimized quantum Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) adder circuit that utilizes reversible gates as its building blocks. The newly proposed quantum BCD adder is specifically constructed with the inclusion of double Peres gates (DPG), Peres gates (PG), BJN gates, Feynman gates (FG), and reversible NOT gates. To bring this idea to life, we undertook the design and implementation of the proposed circuit using the Qiskit simulator provided by the IBM Quantum Computing lab. Our evaluation of the newly optimized BCD adder circuit yielded the following metrics, the quantum cost of 47, the constant input of 8, garbage output of 12, and a delay of 10. When compared to previously reported results, we observed significant improvements in various aspects, with a 25.39% reduction in quantum cost, a 28.57% decrease in constant input, and a 36.84% reduction in garbage output.
Compared to classical computing implementations, reversible arithmetic adders offer a valuable platform for implementing quantum computation models in digital systems and specific applications, such as cryptography and natural language processing. Reversible logic efficiently prevents energy wastage through thermal dissipation. This study presents a comprehensive exploration introducing new carry-select adders (CSLA) based on quantum and reversible logic. Five reversible CSLA designs are proposed and compared, evaluating various criteria, including speed, quantum cost, and area, compared to previously published schemes. These comparative metrics are formulated for arbitrary n-bit size blocks. Each design type is described generically, capable of implementing carry-select adders of any size. As the best outcome, this study proposes an optimized reversible adder circuit that addresses quantum propagation delay, achieving an acceptable trade-off with quantum cost compared to its counterparts. This article reduces calculation delay by 66%, 73%, 82%, and 87% for 16, 32, 64, and 128 bits, respectively, while maintaining a lower quantum cost in all cases.
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.
