Design of Quantum/Reversible Ternary Adder Circuit

Abstract

The ternary quantum circuit is very useful in arithmetic and logic operations. This circuit has several advantages as it reduces power dissipation, step time, etc. Adder circuit is the main block of various computing units and for several other complex computer designs. In this current paper, we have used generalized ternary gate (GTG) and reversible gates for the synthesis of reversible half adder and a full adder circuits. The presented designs offer reduced constant inputs and less quantum cost, compared to existing designs. Our proposed design allows a reduction of 40% of the cost and 25% of the number of gates used.
