Quantum-dot Cellular Automata
Quantum-dot Cellular Automata
(electronics, computing)The advantages of quantum-dot cellular automata overconventional circuitry are extremely small size/high density,low power requirements, and potentially high processingspeeds. Disadvantages (in 2000) are difficulty of fabricationand low yield.
