Computing with Multi-Value Logic in Quantum Dot Cellular Automata - (Hardcover)

About the Book

"CMOS technology has been at the forefront of the semiconductor industry for decades, but according to Moore's law, the number of transistors per unit area almost doubles every two years. As the number of transistors increases, methods must be sought to reduce the dimensions of transistors and designed circuits in general. Reducing the dimensions of the transistors themselves causes problems such as short-channel effects, increased leakage current, and increased gate resistance. The stated problems lead to the search for an alternative technology for MOS transistors. Suggested technologies that can be used to replace CMOS technology include: quantum dot cell automation, single electron transistors, carbon nanotubes, molecular electronics etc. Among the technologies mentioned, the technology of cellular automation of quantum dots has received the most attention. The reason for this technology is the design of digital circuits with Nano dimensions. Quantum dot cellular automation technology is one of the best designs in terms of occupied surface area, latency and energy consumption."--

Meet the latest challenges in quantum computing with this cutting-edge volume

Miniaturization is one of the major forms (and drivers) of innovation in electronics and computing. In recent years, the rapid reduction in the size of semiconductors and other key elements of digital technology has created major challenges, which new technologies are being continuously mobilized to meet. Quantum dot cellular automata (QCA) is a technology with huge potential to meet these challenges, particularly if multi-value computing is brought to bear.

Computing with Multi-Value Logic in Quantum Dot Cellular Automata introduces this groundbreaking area of technology and its major applications. Using MATLAB(R) software and a novel multi-value logic simulator, the book demonstrates that multi-value circuits with a function that approximates fuzzy logic are within reach of modern engineering and design. Rigorous and clear, this book offers a crucial introduction to the processes of designing multi-value logic circuits with QCA technology.

Readers will also find:

• The tools required to design fuzzy-quantum controllers with high processing speed
• Detailed discussion of topics including basic gate function, the energy consumption of QCA multi-value cells, and much more
• Extensive MATLAB(R) data and other worked-through examples

Computing with Multi-Value Logic in Quantum Dot Cellular Automata is ideal for researchers and readers who are looking for an explanation of the basic concepts required to design multi-value circuits in this field.
