Abstract

Abstract Reversible gates have been one of the emerging research areas in these days. The reversible gates have several applications in the fields of low power CMOS, DNA computing, optical, nanotechnology etc. Quantum computing is one of the fastest and upcoming nanotechnologies that can implement the digital logical circuits using reversible logic gates. In this paper, CNOT, TOFFOLI, FREDKIN and PERES reversible logic gates have been implemented on IBM quantum computer. An efficient one-bit full adder is going to be proposed using the reversible gates like CNOT and TOFFOLI. Later, a 4x4 multiplier will be developed using the proposed one-bit full adder. The proposed multiplier is proved to perform faster calculations compared to the earlier multipliers. The simulation of the presented modules will be done on IBM Quantum computer and the respective probabilities can be observed for different inputs.

A Novel and Ultra-Efficient Design of Reversible Quantum Vedic Multiplier

Mojtaba Noorallahzadeh, Mohammad Mosleh

Abstract Quantum computing has attracted increased attention in recent years owing to substantial advancements in quantum algorithms and system architecture. Quantum algorithms are implemented using quantum circuits. These circuits include an intrinsic reversibility and often have a substantial Boolean component that requires synthesis. A crucial characteristic of reversible circuits is the preservation of parity. Parity-preserving logic is a category that maintains the parity of both inputs and outputs, facilitating the detection of permanent and transient errors. Multiplier circuits are essential components in digital computing systems, playing a crucial role in the development of various hardware, including arithmetic circuits. This paper first introduces a novel block based on a transformationbased synthesis technique from the elementary quantum gates. Then it proposes a distinctive 2×2 parity-preserving reversible quantum Vedic multiplier based on the recommended block and prior gates. In addition, further designs of Vedic multipliers are provided, encompassing 4-bit, 8-bit, and 16-bit configurations. We illustrate that our design brings superior outcomes regarding quantum cost (QC), constant inputs (CI) count, CNOT-V/V + count, garbage outputs (GO) count, and gate count (GC) in comparison to earlier designs. This study achieves an average decrease of 23.09%, 37.51%, 37.51%, 54.89%, and 19.38% in QC, CI, GO, GC, and CNOT-V/V + count, respectively. Furthermore, all suggested circuits undergo appraisal and validation within the IBM quantum laboratory.

Synthesis of a reversible quantum Vedic multiplier on IBM quantum computers

Mojtaba Noorallahzadeh, Mohammad Mosleh

Quantum computers provide considerable potential to enhance computing technology, anticipated to surpass conventional computers by resolving intricate challenges that existing systems cannot tackle. They use quantum algorithms for improved performance and depend on reversible computations based on quantum physics and linear algebra. In contrast to traditional computing, which may include irreversible processes, quantum computing relies on unitary operations that are fundamentally reversible. The parity-preserving feature enables the identification of both permanent and transient defects within circuits. The parity-preserving feature ensures that the input and output states are equal in reversible circuits. Vedic multipliers offer a crucial foundation in the design and implementation of digital circuits, recognized for their speed, efficiency, ease of calculations, reduction of errors, and broad applicability. Prior investigations of quantum Vedic multipliers have faced obstacles like elevated Quantum Cost (QC), substantial Garbage Output (GO), Constant Input (CI), augmented Gate Count (GC), and CNOT-V/V+ count, resulting in more resource use and implementation intricacy. These inefficiencies hinder the scalability and feasibility of quantum multipliers in high-performance computing applications. A proposed solution to these issues is to introduce a cost-effective, parity-preserving reversible quantum block synthesized through an established method that produces a network list of multi-controlled Toffoli (MCT) gates. This Toffoli-based network is then optimized using various techniques, ultimately transforming it into a network of fundamental quantum gates. This approach decreases quantum expenses, eliminates unnecessary outputs, and enhances quantum gate efficiency. Integrating this innovative technique into the reversible quantum Vedic multipliers offers a more efficient, cost-effective, and scalable solution than current approaches. All proposed designs, such as a half adder-subtractor, a ripple carry adder (RCA), and two-bit and four-bit Vedic multipliers, are suggested based on functional blocks and pre-existing components. The suggested structures undergo evaluation in comparison to existing state-of-the-art procedures, demonstrating their cost-effectiveness. The observed average savings for two-bit and four-bit Vedic multipliers, with respect to QC, number of CNOT-V/V+ count, GO, CI, and GC, are 20.01%, 19.38%, 37.51%, 37.51%, and 54.89%, and 22.71%, 18.78%, 27.23%, 31.10%, and 42.38%, respectively when compared to previous studies. Furthermore, all suggested circuits are evaluated and confirmed using the IBM quantum laboratory.

Implementation of Reversible Logic Gates with Quantum Gates

Swathi Mummadi, Bhawana Rudra

Quantum is an emerging technology in future computers. Reversibility is the main advantage of quantum computers. In conventional computers, the computation is irreversible i.e. the input bits are lost once the logic block generates the output and input bits cannot be restored but it can be done in reversible computation because in reversible computation the inputs and outputs have a one-to-one correspondence. Therefore, a reversible gate input could even be uniquely determined from their output which leads to less power consumption. Hence the complexity of the digital circuits can be reduced by using reversible computing. In quantum computer to perform reversible operations, we need to implement the reversible gates using quantum gates. In this paper, we discussed various reversible logic gates like Feynman, Toffoli, R, Peres and TR gates using basic quantum gates like CNOT, Pauli, Swap gates and their implementation using IBM quantum experience.

IMPLEMENTATION AND SIMULATION OF A QUANTUM HALF ADDER USING IBM QISKIT

Krishnaveni Guduru, Devi Prasanna Vempa, Manideepa Mekala +1 more

Quantum computing is an emerging computational paradigm that represents and processes information using quantum states. This paper presents the implementation and simulation of a Quantum Half Adder using the IBM Qiskit framework. The proposed circuit performs one-bit binary addition and produces two outputs, SUM and CARRY, through reversible quantum operations. Classical input values are encoded into quantum states using Pauli-X gates. Controlled-NOT (CNOT) gates are used to realize the XOR relationship required for SUM generation, while a Toffoli (CCNOT) gate realizes the AND relationship required for CARRY generation. The complete design is implemented in Python and executed using the Qiskit Aer Simulator. Four possible input combinations are evaluated and the measured outputs are compared with the expected Half Adder truth table. Circuit visualization, terminal output, and measurement histograms are used to verify the operation. The results show that the simulated circuit produces the expected SUM and CARRY values for all input combinations. The work provides a simple practical model for understanding reversible quantum computation, quantum gates, and Qiskit-based quantum circuit simulation.
