Reversible Logic: An Introduction

Abstract

Reversible logic is one of the alternatives to meet the requirement of power, speed and size in EDA (Electronic Design Automation) industry because these circuits are theoretically proven for providing nearly energy free computation by preventing the loss of information during operations. This chapter describes about theory of reversible logic, basic gates, cost matrices used for synthesis and testing of these circuits and connection of reversible logic with quantum computation. © 2020, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
