Reversible circuits implement invertible logic functions. They are of great interest to cryptography, coding theory, interconnect design, computer graphics, quantum computing, and many other fields. As for conventional circuits, checking the combinational ...
We review combinational results to enumerate and classify reversible functions and investigate the application to circuit complexity. In particularly, we consider the effect of negating and permuting input and output variables and the effect of applying li ...
Traditional simulated annealing uses thermal fluctuations for convergence in optimization problems. Quantum tunneling provides a different mechanism for moving between states, with the potential for reduced time scales and different outcomes. Thermal and q ...
