Mrs Seema Chouhan
Abstract
Quantum Dot Cellular Automata (QCA) represents a revolutionary leap in nanotechnology, effectively overcoming the inherent limitations of traditional CMOS technology. This advanced nano-technology centers around the precise control of single-electron positions within quantum dots, positioning QCA as one of the most efficient and emerging technologies in the field of nano-electronics architecture. In this paper, we introduce a novel design for a 2:1 multiplexer utilizing QCA, highlighting its significant improvements in efficiency, specifically in terms of area and cell count, over existing multiplexer designs. By harnessing the unique electron dynamics within QCA cells, our proposed multiplexer not only reduces the physical footprint but also enhances overall performance. This study underscores the transformative potential of QCA in the development of next-generation nano-electronic devices, offering a compelling alternative to traditional semiconductor technologies. Our findings indicate that QCA-based designs could play a pivotal role in the future of electronic device architecture, driving advancements in efficiency and miniaturization in the realm of nano-electronics.
