Abstract

This paper proposed the design and development of reversible cost-efficient innovative quantum dual-full adder and subtractor or QD-FAS circuit using quantum gate. The proposed circuit can be used as full adder and full subtractor simultaneously, which is designed using double Peres gate or DPG and Feynman gate or FG. The quantum cost, garbage output and constant input of the QD-FAS is 8, 1 and 1. Which is better w.r.t previously reported work. The QD-FAS circuit, as proposed, includes shared sum and difference terminals, as well as a carry-out and a borrow output terminal. Notably, this innovation showcases a remarkable 27.27% reduction in quantum cost. The improvement in garbage output is even more striking, showing a 50% enhancement. When assessing the overall advancement in quantum cost, it falls within the range of 27.27% to 66.66%. To confirm the viability of this design, extensive testing is carried out using the IBM Qiskit simulator. This design holds significant importance in a variety of applications, including quantum computing, cryptography, and the realm of reversible Arithmetic Logic Units (ALU).

Design of Reversible Binary Half and Full Adder/Subtractor Using Reversible Gates

Arwa S. Bazmalah, Noorfazila Kamal

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.

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.

A Novel Design of Reversible Adder - Subtractor Circuit Using IBM Qiskit

Anupam Patra, Agniswar Banerjee, Debmalya Dash +2 more

Quantum processors are a central element of a quantum computer. Processors are responsible for performing the fundamental operations like addition, subtraction, etc. of any computer. This also involves the arithmetic unit and has a different configuration for the quantum computer than for a classical computer. Multiplication is essentially repeated addition and division is repeated subtraction. But for quantum computer other methodologies have to be used for arithmetic. In this paper a Quantum Full Adder/Subtractor Circuit, using the reversible Peres Gate, R3Gate and a NOT Gate, is proposed. So, the proposed design can be used for both modes, adder and subtractor on quantum operation. The authors have also compared proposed design with other designs reported, in terms of Gate count, Garbage bits, Quantum cost and Delay. The authors have achieved a 62.5% increment in delay and a low power computing reversible logic in which the computation is faster and energy efficient. Using IBM Qiskit, the authors have created and tested the circuit.

A High-Speed Quantum Reversible Controlled Adder/Subtractor Circuit

Negin Mashayekhi, Mohammad Reza Reshadinezhad, Shekoofeh Moghimi

Reversible logic is becoming increasingly important with the rise of technologies like quantum computing, as it retains information during computation and maintains a direct match between each input and its corresponding output. Quantum circuits are inherently reversible and the best computational model in quantum computing systems. Quantum computers require quantum processors. A critical component of any computer's processor is the arithmetic component, that handles binary operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Notably, multiplication can be accomplished by repeatedly adding, while division can be carried out by repeatedly subtracting. This paper proposes a new design of quantum-controlled adder/subtractor (QCAS) with efficient quantum criteria like delay, quantum cost, number of ancilla and of garbage outputs. We propose a quantum reversible controlled full adder/subtractor block which is applied to construct an n-bit quantum adder/subtractor circuit. The proposed circuit is simulated using the Quirk online tool and the result confirms the accuracy of the design. This design achieves 28.5% and 61.3% improvement in delay and garbage outputs, and 14% and 41.2% increase in quantum cost and constant input, compared to its counterpart, respectively.

Efficient Designs of Quantum Adder/Subtractor Using Universal Reversible Gate on IBM Q

Mohamed Osman, Khaled El-Wazan

Reversible arithmetic and logic unit (ALU) is a necessary part of quantum computing. In this work, we present improved designs of reversible half and full addition and subtraction circuits. The proposed designs are based on a universal one type gate (G gate library). The G gate library can generate all possible permutations of the symmetric group. The presented designs are multi-function circuits that are capable of performing additional logical operations. We achieve a reduction in the quantum cost, gate count, number of constant inputs, and delay with zero garbage, compared to relevant results obtained by others. The experimental results using IBM Quantum Experience (IBM Q) illustrate the success probability of the proposed designs.

Design and Implementation of an Efficient Quantum Cost Optimized Adder Using Reversible Logic Gates

Shatavisha Dasgupta, Sourav Pandey, Debjit Roy +3 more

In modern Very-Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) technology, managing information loss is a critical challenge. Conventional logic gates, such as AND, OR, and NOT, are prone to data loss during operations, reducing their efficiency for sophisticated applications. Reversible logic gates, which have an equal number of inputs and outputs, offer a solution by preserving data integrity. This paper presents the design and FPGA implementation of an efficient and high-speed full adder circuit utilizing reversible logic gates, namely Feynman, Toffoli, and Peres gates. The design focuses on improving computational efficiency and thermal performance. An analysis of the circuit's quantum cost, garbage outputs, and ancillary inputs reveals its advantages over traditional designs. Proposed design has been realized using Verilog and Synthesize and simulations performed using Xilinx Vivado and Xilinx ISE tools, confirms the functionality and efficiency of the proposed full adder. FPGA implementation of the design has been done using NEXYS A7 (Artix 7 series). The results show that the circuit has a quantum cost of 10, with two garbage outputs and one ancillary input, underscoring its potential for use in low-power, high-performance computing systems and quantum computing applications.
