Multiple-valued logic devices can be constructed compactly by utilizing quantized behavior of single-electron circuits. As an example, a single-electron multiple-valued Hopfield network solving optimization problems is designed. Computer simulation shows that the network can successfully converge to its optimal state that represents the solution to the problem.

We introduce a single-electron device and circuit simulator, called SIMON, with the following features. Tunnel junctions, capacitors, constant voltage sources, piecewise-linear time-dependent voltage sources and voltage controlled voltage sources can be connected arbitrarily to form a single-electro
The possibility of using single-electron digital circuits (SEDCs) to achieve ultra-high performance digital signal processing is explored. SEDCs are highly-scalable Coulomb blockadebased circuits that operate in the discrete limit where bits are represented by single electrons. Such circuits are wel

This paper proposes a new construction of bipolar current-mode (CML) logic circuits based on the multiple-valued logic concept. Applying the multiple-valued logic concept, the new logic function, which can replace the conventional stack logic circuit and can be operated by a low supply voltage, can
Simulated annealing is proposed as a simulation method for single-electron tunnel devices and circuits. Tunnel junctions, voltage sources and capacitors are used as elements for the construction of single-electron circuits. The simulator is applied successfully to the twostage tunnel junction invert
