Reversible computing has emerged as a promising solution for reducing energy dissipation in digital systems by addressing the fundamental limitations caused by information loss.Quaternary reversible logic, which uses multi-valued representations, provides higher information density, reduced interconnect complexity, and better scalability when compared to conventional binary logic.This work presents the design and implementation of a quaternary reversible Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) that integrates essential computational modules, including arithmetic units, logical units, memory units, decoders, and multiplexers.The proposed architecture supports efficient data routing and precise operation control through a scalable control unit and a selection-line-based design approach.The designed ALU demonstrates reduced quantum cost, fewer garbage outputs, and minimized constant inputs in comparison with existing reversible ALU designs, while remaining compatible with larger reversible and quantum computing architectures.Simulation results and comparative analysis validate the improved efficiency and low-power potential of the proposed system, making it suitable for next-generation computing applications.The complete design is implemented using Verilog HDL and synthesized and simulated using Xilinx Vivado Design Suite 2025.

Design and Implementation of a Single-Bit Fault Detecting Reversible Arithmetic Logic Unit Using Fredkin and CNOT Gates

Sandyarani Merugu, Devisingh

Reduction in dimensions of CMOS technology has resulted in great increase in computing speeds but, at the same time, higher power consumption. Thus, a serious limitation arises since conventional approaches will eventually hit the physical limit [1], [2]. Reversible computing seems promising in the context of VLSI. In theory, it could operate without any energy loss due to lossless information processing [3], [4]. The paper presents development and implementation of a reversible Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) based on quantum logic gates working with qubits. The architecture is based on Fredkin gates (quantum cost 5) and CNOT gates (quantum cost 1), both preserving parity and being inherently reversible. The ALU can execute all arithmetic and logical operations and reconfigure operations dynamically according to system requirements. Also, the designed ALU possesses an inherent parity-preserving fault detection mechanism for reliable identification of single-bit faults. Overall the implemented ALU contains 9 CNOT and 7 Fredkin gates resulting in quantum cost equal to 44 and 12 garbage outputs. Thus, the quantum cost and garbage outputs are significantly lower than usual ones for the design of a reversible ALU, which generally amount to 48–65 and 16–20 correspondingly. The designed architecture is described in details through the application of Verilog HDL and simulation in Xilinx Vivado toolset. The work concentrates on optimization of such important parameters as the number of gates, quantum cost, garbage outputs, and constant inputs. Those design parameters are critical in order to develop scalable and sustainable quantum and low-power VLSI architectures.

Optimized designs of reversible arithmetic logic unit

Ali Bolhassani, Majid Haghparast

Reversible logic has emerged as a promising paradigm in various domains, such as low power VLSI design, quantum cellular automata, and nanotechnology-based systems. The arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is one of the main components of any central processing unit. In this paper we propose two new reversible ALUs using elementary quantum gates, with more functions compared to the existing designs. The results show that the proposed designs are better than the existing counterparts in terms of cost-metrics and the number of functions generated. The proposed reversible ALUs can be used in the implementation of quantum computers. All the designs are with nanometric scales.
