T-Count Optimization Of Quantum Carry Look-Ahead Adder, Vladislav Ivanovich Khalus

Theses and Dissertations--Electrical and Computer Engineering

With the emergence of quantum physics and computer science in the 20^th century, a new era was born which can solve very difficult problems in a much faster rate or problems that classical computing just can't solve. In the 21^st century, quantum computing needs to be used to solve tough problems in engineering, business, medical, and other fields that required results not today but yesterday. To make this dream come true, engineers in the semiconductor industry need to make the quantum circuits a reality.

To realize quantum circuits and make them scalable, they need to be fault tolerant, …

Novel Resource Efficient Circuit Designs For Rebooting Computing, Sai Subramanya Varun Thogarcheti

Theses and Dissertations--Electrical and Computer Engineering

CMOS based computing is reaching its limits. To take computation beyond Moores law (the number of transistors and hence processing power on a chip doubles every 18 months to 3 years) requires research explorations in (i) new materials, devices, and processes, (ii) new architectures and algorithms, (iii) new paradigm of logic bit representation. The focus is on fundamental new ways to compute under the umbrella of rebooting computing such as spintronics, quantum computing, adiabatic and reversible computing. Therefore, this thesis highlights explicitly Quantum computing and Adiabatic logic, two new computing paradigms that come under the umbrella of rebooting computing. Quantum …
