Design of logic gates using reversible gates with reduced quantum cost

Abstract

Reversible logic is also called information lossless logic, since the information embedded in the circuits can be recovered, if lost. Research carried out by Landauer and Bennett proved that the energy dissipation would not occur if computation is made reversible. With this aim a number of reversible gates were designed and invented. As examples like- the Fredkin gate, the Toffoli gate, the Peres gate, and the Feynman gate. Reversible logic has extensive applications and is considered as one of the futuristic technologies. But the logic circuit designing is based on logic gates, which are non-reversible. This paper presents design of logic gates using reversible gates. These logic gates help in future implementation of higher end circuits. In this paper an attempt is made to design logic gates using reversible gates and some of the higher end circuits are also designed such as Binary-to-Grey, grey-to-Binary, Adder, Subtractor etc.
