Reversible logic gates have an equal number of inputs and outputs, which also makes it possible to reverse calculate and reconstruct the inputs from the outputs. Quantum logic elements are inherently reversible and requires very little energy to operate. Some of the most common uses of Quantum Computers are in the design of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Deep Neural Networks (DNN) and for machine learning (ML) purposes. In this research, the reversible logic gates were designed with 45ηm CMOS technology modeled after reversible quantum logic gates. As a proof of concept, hardware that provided Sigmoid Neuron Functionality was carried out by processing the MNIST Dataset, a handwritten digit database for number recognition.
