| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Reversible logic circuits can perform logic operation bidirectionally without change of the entropy of the information, and are known as extremely energy-efficient logic whose power consumption can be well below the thermodynamic limitation called the Landauer’s limit. In this study we aimed to create inverse problem computers with high-energy efficiency by using reversible adiabatic-quantum-flux-parametron (AQFP) circuits, which were proposed in our group previously. We have designed and implemented a reversible full adder using reversible AQFP majority gates and verified its correct operation. We have also numerically evaluated the energy consumption of the reversible full adder and shown that its bit energy can be reduced lower than the Landauer’s limit.
