β¦ Synopsis
An introduction to the operation of quantum-dot cellular automata is presented, along with recent experimental results. Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is a transistorless computation paradigm that addresses the issues of device density and interconnection. The basic building blocks of the QCA architecture, such as AND, OR, and NOT are presented. The experimental device is a four-dot QCA cell with two electrometers. The dots are metal islands, which are coupled by capacitors and tunnel junctions.

Several practical issues in the development and operation of quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) cells and systems are discussed. The need for adiabatic clocking of QCA systems and modeling of electrostatic confinement of quantum dots are presented. Experimental data on dot coupling and applications
It has been previously demonstrated, employing charge detection techniques, that quantum cellular automata (QCA) processes exist in the vicinity of quadruple degeneracy points in both ring and serial arrangements of lateral triple quantum dots. The effect is primarily an electrostatic one. In this p
Preferable quantum dot (QD) nanostructure for quantum computation based on quantum cellular automata (QCA) is laterally close-packed quantum dot molecular (QDM) having 4 QDs at the corners of square configuration. We called this 4 QDs-set as quadra-quantum dots (QQDs). Aligned QQDs with 2 electronco
