An overview of nanocomputers is given, including a discussion of reversible computing
techniques and an explanation of why they are necessary. The design of a nanocomputer …

Conventional logic gates (eg AND gates) cannot be used for building a reversible computer.
An appropriate design approach is necessary. Both small building blocks and a more …

2017 September–October 271 www. americanscientist. org constant (1.38 x 10-23 joules
per kelvin) and T is the temperature in kelvins. The natural log of 2, given as ln 2, is the …

Reversible combinatorial computers are built from basic cells with a three-bit digital input
and a three-bit digital output. Such a computer can calculate both 'from left to right'and 'from …

There is now a fairly extensive literature on reversible computation [l, 2, 3, 4] which shows
that the energy dissipation per device operation cannot be reduced below ln (2) kT (where k …

Two methods of using switches to implement reversible computations are discussed. The
first method has an energy dissipation which is proportional to the square of the error in the …

In the present paper, we give a design methodology for reversible logic circuits. The
implementation is based on complementary MOS (metal-oxide-semiconductor) transistor …

A reversible computing system is a “backward deterministic” system such that every state of
the system has at most one predecessor. Hence, there is no pair of distinct states that go to …
