Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The development of computing machines found great success in the last decades. But the ongoing miniaturization of integrated circuits will reach its limits in the near future. Shrinking transistor sizes and power dissipation are the major barriers in the development of smaller and more powerful circuits. Reversible logic p- vides an alternative that may overcome many of these problems in the future. For low-power design, reversible logic offers signi cant advantages since zero power dissipation will only be possible if computation is reversible. Furthermore, quantum computation pro ts from enhancements in this area, because every quantum circuit is inherently reversible and thus requires reversible descriptions. However, since reversible logic is subject to certain restrictions (e.g. fanout and feedback are not directly allowed), the design of reversible circuits signi cantly differs from the design of traditional circuits. Nearly all steps in the design ow (like synthesis, veri cation, or debugging) must be redeveloped so that they become applicable to reversible circuits as well. But research in reversible logic is still at the beginning. No continuous design ow exists so far. Inthisbook,contributionstoadesign owforreversiblelogicarepresented.This includes advanced methods for synthesis, optimization, veri cation, and debugging.…
