A Quick Guide to Implement Reversible Logic
Shaveta Thakral, Dipali Bansal · 2018
Increasing miniaturization and demand of low power electronics is highly motivating research on reversible logic. Reversible logic has attracted signification attention in fields of Low power VLSI design, computer graphics, quantum computing and communication. A lot of work has been done on synthesis and optimization of reversible circuits followed by quantitative analysis on various optimization metrics like ancillary inputs, garbage outputs and quantum cost. It is therefore obvious to present a quick guide on reversible logic implementation to bridge gap between theory and implementation. Taxonomy diagrams of work done in reversible logic domain are also presented to give a quick review of all about reversible logic. Quantum realization of popular reversible Fredkin gates using RCViewer tool is also presented which will be stepping stone for a new researcher to synthesize and optimize any complex reversible logic based circuit.
