Summary form only given, as follows. With the increasing emphasis on low-power design and quantum computation, research activities in the area of reversible logic synthesis and testing have gained momentum over the last couple of decades. It is expected that reversible logic will provide us with a viable alternative to building ultra-low power circuits and systems in not too distant future. In the classical works for synthesis of reversible circuits, gate libraries comprising of standard reversible gates like NOT, CNOT, TOFFOLI, FREDKIN, etc. are considered. To evaluate the goodness of a synthesized netlist, various metrics such as gate count, quantum cost, and equivalent transistor cost have been considered by various researchers. The synthesis approaches that have been reported can be broadly categorized into three groups: (a) exact synthesis approaches which try to obtain optimal reversible gate netlists, but can be used for small circuits only, (b) heuristic based approaches which try to utilize some domain knowledge intelligently to reduce the complexity of search, and can be used for somewhat larger circuits, and (c) synthesis approaches that rely on higher level functional representations like binary decision diagram (BDD) or exclusive sum-ofproducts (ESOP). The last approach is scalable to larger circuits (with 200 inputs or more), however, the synthesized netlist is not optimal and various rule-based heuristic approaches have been proposed to minimize the cost. There have been works also that report techniques for implementing sequential circuits with reversible properties, which will be useful for building complex systems containing finite-state machines. There are various transformations that are carried out as part of cryptographic algorithms that are inherently reversible in nature. For instance, any block cipher that uses a key K to transform a plaintext P into a ciphertext C during encryption must be reversible, because decryption will be doing just the reverse (C to P). Also, in standard symmetric block ciphers like DES or AES, there is a combinational block called substitution box or S-box which is also reversible in nature. In AES, the S-box has 8 inputs and 8 outputs, and implements a one-to-one onto mapping. The same reversibility requirements hold for stream ciphers and public-key ciphers like RSA. Although not much work has been carried out in the area of reversible implementations of cryptographic algorithms, this can be a very good area for future research. Similar considerations hold for various coding and decoding techniques used in communication, which are also inherently reversible in nature. Some examples of such coding/decoding are Manchester, Differential Manchester, Bipolar AMI, 4B/5B, 8B/10B, Hamming error correcting code, etc. All these techniques can potentially be implemented using reversible logic circuits. Specific case studies of some of the areas as mentioned will be reported, with synthesis results.
Reversible logic gates are critical components in the field of quantum computing and low-power digital circuits, as they allow for the retrieval of input states from output states without any loss of information. This property ensures minimal energy dissipation, aligning with the principles of reversible computation. Their applications extend to quantum computing, cryptographic systems, and error detection and correction mechanisms. This paper presents a novel design for a Reversible D Flip-Flop (RDFF) and a 4-bit Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR). The Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) is built utilizing four Register-Driven D Flip-Flops (RDFFs) and a feedback mechanism that incorporates a Feynman Gate. This configuration successfully showcases the capacity to generate pseudo-random sequences. The LFSR design demonstrates a 10% improvement in Total Reversible Logic Implementation Cost and 27% enhancement in quantum cost, making it a more resource-efficient option for reversible computing. This work makes a valuable contribution to the field of reversible computing by offering efficient designs for essential components.
Reversible logic is emerging as a promising computing paradigm with applications in ultralow power nanocomputing and emerging nanotechnologies such as quantum computing, quantum dot cellular automata (QCA), optical computing, etc. Reversible circuits are similar to conventional logic circuits except that they are built from reversible gates. In reversible gates, there is a unique, one-to-one mapping between the inputs and outputs, not the case with conventional logic. One of the primary motivations for adopting reversible logic lies in the fact that it can provide a logic design methodology for designing ultra-low power circuits beyond KTln2 limit for those emerging nanotechnologies in which the energy dissipated due to information destruction will be a significant factor of the overall heat dissipation. Further, logic circuits for quantum computers must be built from reversible logic components. Several important metrics need to be considered in the design of reversible circuits the importance of which needs to be discussed. Quantum computers of many qubits are extremely difficult to realize thus the number of qubits in the quantum circuits needs to be minimized. This sets the major objective of optimizing the number of ancilla inputs and the number of the garbage outputs in the reversible logic based quantum circuits. The constant input in the reversible quantum circuit is called the ancilla input, while the garbage output refers to the output which exists in the circuit just to maintain one-to-one mapping but is not a primary or a useful output. The reversible circuit has other important parameters of quantum cost and delay which need to be optimized.
