Logic gate — A logic gate is an idealized or physical device implementing a Boolean function, that is, it performs a logical operation on one or more logic inputs and produces a single logic output. Depending on the context, the term may refer to an ideal… … Wikipedia
Reversible Computing/3 input universal logic gates — Logic gates are used to build computer chips. Reversible logic gates are of interest because they could in principle generate useful results for less heat generated (Landauer 1961). The nand gate is universal among irreversible logic gates, in… … Wikipedia
Logic family — In computer engineering, a logic family may refer to one of two related concepts. A logic family of monolithic digital integrated circuit devices is a group of electronic logic gates constructed using one of several different designs, usually… … Wikipedia
Universal quantum computer — In quantum mechanics, the universal quantum computer or universal quantum Turing machine (UQTM) is a theoretical machine that combines both Church Turing and quantum principles.Such computers were first proposed in a 1985 paper written by Oxford… … Wikipedia
Quantum gate — A quantum gate or quantum logic gate is a basic quantum circuit operating on a small number of qubits. They are the analogues for quantum computers to classical logic gates for conventional digital computers. Quantum logic gates are reversible,… … Wikipedia
NOR logic — This article is about NOR Logic in the sense of building other logic gates using just NOR gates. For NOR gates, see NOR gate. For NOR in the purely logical sense, see Logical NOR. For logic gates in general, see Logic Gate. A single NOR gate Like … Wikipedia
Boolean algebra (logic) — For other uses, see Boolean algebra (disambiguation). Boolean algebra (or Boolean logic) is a logical calculus of truth values, developed by George Boole in the 1840s. It resembles the algebra of real numbers, but with the numeric operations of… … Wikipedia
NAND logic — This article is about NAND Logic in the sense of building other logic gates using just NAND gates. For NAND Gates, see NAND gate. For NAND in the purely logical sense, see Logical NAND. For logic gates generally, see Logic gate. NAND gates are… … Wikipedia
Toffoli gate — In computer science, the Toffoli gate, invented by Tommaso Toffoli, is a universal reversible logic gate, which means that any reversible circuit can be constructed from Toffoli gates. It is also known as the controlled controlled not gate, which … Wikipedia
Programmable logic device — A programmable logic device or PLD is an electronic component used to build reconfigurable digital circuits. Unlike a logic gate, which has a fixed function, a PLD has an undefined function at the time of manufacture. Before the PLD can be used… … Wikipedia
