In quantum computers which can be realized by reversible logics and circuits, reversible ALUs should be designed. In this paper, we proposed three different designs for reversible 1-bit ALUs using our proposed 3×3 and 4×4 reversible gates called MEB3 and MEB4(Moallem Ehsanpour Bolhasani) gates, respectively. The first proposed reversible ALU consists of six logical operations. The second proposed ALU consists of eight operations, two arithmetic, and six logical operations. And finally, the third proposed ALU consists of sixteen operations, four arithmetic operations, and twelve logical operations. Our proposed ALUs can be used to construct efficient quantum computers in nanotechnology, because the proposed designs are better than the existing designs in terms of quantum cost, constant input, reversible gates used, hardware complexity, and functions generated.展开更多

These technologies can not only shorten the calculation time but also solve data hazards. Among them, the proposed bypass technology is applicable to any 2n-bit ALU, whether it is bit-serial, bit-slice or bit-parallel. The high performance bit-slice ALU was implemented using the 6 kA/cm^(2) Nb/AlOx/Nb junction fabrication process from Superconducting Electronics Facility of Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology. It consists of 1693 Josephson junctions with an area of 2.46 0.81 mm^(2). All ALU operations of the MIPS32 instruction set are implemented, including two extended instructions, i.e., addition with carry (ADDC) and subtraction with borrow (SUBB). All the ALU operations were successfully obtained in SFQ testing based on OCTOPUX and the measured DC bias current margin can reach 86% - 104%. The ALU achieves a 100 utilization rate, regardless of carry/borrow read-after-write correlations between instructions.展开更多

Clear temporal waveforms and correct pattern streams are successfully observed in the experiment. This scheme can reduce the amount of nonlinear devices and enlarge the computing capacity compared with general ones. The numerical simulations are made to analyze the relationship between the FWM efficiency and the position of two interactional signals.展开更多

The delay model used is the unit-delay model where all gates have the same propagation delay. The main advantages of this method over other techniques are its accuracy, as it is deterministic and it requires less computational effort compared to exhaustive simulation approaches. The methodology uses the Logic Pictures concept for obtaining the nodes’ toggle rates. The proposed method is applied to well-known circuits and the results are compared to exhaustive simulation and Monte Carlosimulation methods.展开更多
