Behavioral model of integrated qubit gates for quantum reversible logic design

Abstract

Reversible logic is gaining significant consideration as the potential logic design style for implementation in modern nanotechnology and quantum computing with minimal impact on physical entropy. Recent advances in reversible logic allow schemes for computer architectures using improved quantum computer algorithms. We present a VHDL behavioral model for the design and simulation of the quantum interactions of qubits in theoretical reversible logic structures. Modeling IQ gates, as opposed to only Control-V gates or Toffoli gates, allows for a more robust model that more accurately reflects a theoretical reversible computing structure. This method is an extension to existing programming language and modeling method that allows for reversible logic structures to be designed, simulated, and verified. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work in the behavioral model of integrated qubit gates.
