Reducing Quantum Cost for Reversible Realization of Densely-packed-decimal Converters

Abstract

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

A Low Quantum Cost Implementation of Reversible Binary-Coded-Decimal Adder

Sheba Diamond Thabah, Prabir Saha

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.

Design and Development of Cost Optimized Quantum Binary-Coded Decimal Adder using Reversible Logic Gates

Parna Kundu, Mousom Chatterjee, Susmita Biswas +6 more

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.

Scalable Quantum Reversible BCD Adder Architectures with Enhanced Speed and Reduced Quantum Cost for Next-Generation Computing

Negin Mashayekhi, Mohammad Reza Reshadinezhad, Antonio Rubio +1 more

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.

Efficient designs of reversible BCD to EX-3 Converter with low quantum cost in nanoscale

Mojtaba Noorallahzadeh, Mohammad Mosleh

As an interesting and significant research domain, reversible logic is massively utilized in technologies, including optical computing, cryptography, quantum computing, nanotechnology, and so on. The realization of quantum computing is not possible without the implementation of reversible logic, and reversible designs are presented mainly to minimize the thermal loss because of the data input bits lost in the irreversible circuit. Digital converters, as the most important logic circuits, are used to connect computing systems with different binary codes. This paper first proposes a new reversible gate called Reversible Noorallahzadeh[Formula: see text]Mosleh Gate (RNMG). Then, using the proposed RNMG gate as well as existing NMG1, NMG6, and PG gates, three different designs of reversible Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) to EX-3 code converter are proposed. Our results indicate that the proposed BCD to EX-3 code converters are superior to previous designs in terms of quantum cost. Moreover, the proposed converters are comparable or better than previous designs in terms of gate count, constant inputs, and garbage outputs.
