Quantum Cellular Automata

Quantum Cellular Automata

Quantum Cellular Automata (QCA) refers to models of quantum computation, which have been devised in analogy to conventional models of cellular automata introduced by von Neumann. It may also refer to quantum dot cellular automata, which is a proposed physical implementation of "classical" cellular automata by exploiting quantum mechanical phenomena. QCA has attracted a lot of attention as a result of its extremely small feature size (at the molecular or even atomic scale) and its ultra-low power consumption, making it one candidate for replacing CMOS technology.

Famous quotes containing the word quantum:

    The receipt to make a speaker, and an applauded one too, is short and easy.—Take of common sense quantum sufficit, add a little application to the rules and orders of the House, throw obvious thoughts in a new light, and make up the whole with a large quantity of purity, correctness, and elegancy of style.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
