Manjula Gandhi S, J Devishree . Design of Reversible Code Converters for Quantum Computer based Systems. Amrita International Conference of Women in Computing - 2013. AICWIC, 3 (January 2013), 27-30.
Reversible logic is one of the latest technologies having promising applications in Quantum Computing. Reversible code converters are a class of reversible circuits that are used to convert one type of code in to another. Code conversion is a widely used process in digital systems for reasons such as enhancing security of data, reducing the complexity of arithmetic operations and thereby reducing the hardware required. This paper presents the design of reversible code converters such as converting Binary to BCD code, BCD to excess-3 code, Binary to Gray code and BCD to Gray code. Circuits have been designed and synthesized using QCViewer. The circuits are evaluated in terms of number of qubits, ancilla inputs, garbage outputs and quantum cost.
