Jahn-Teller effect in molecular electronics: quantum cellular automata
2017
The article summarizes the main results of application of the theory of the Jahn-Teller (JT) and pseudo JT effects to the description of molecular quantum dot cellular automata (QCA), a new paradigm of quantum computing. The following issues are discussed: 1) QCA as a new paradigm of quantum computing, principles and advantages; 2) molecular implementation of QCA; 3) role of the JT effect in charge trapping, encoding of binary information in the quantum cell and non-linear cell-cell response; 4) spin-switching in molecular QCA based on mixed-valence cell; 5) intervalence optical absorption in tetrameric molecular mixed-valence cell through the symmetry assisted approach to the multimode/mul…
Quantum Finite One-Counter Automata
1999
In this paper the notion of quantum finite one-counter automata (QF1CA) is introduced. Introduction of the notion is similar to that of the 2-way quantum finite state automata in [1]. The well-formedness conditions for the automata are specified ensuring unitarity of evolution. A special kind of QF1CA, called simple, that satisfies the well-formedness conditions is introduced. That allows specify rules for constructing such automata more naturally and simpler than in general case. Possible models of language recognition by QF1CA are considered. The recognition of some languages by QF1CA is shown and compared with recognition by probabilistic counterparts.
Toward multifunctional molecular cells for quantum cellular automata: exploitation of interconnected charge and spin degrees of freedom
2021
We discuss the possibility of using mixed-valence (MV) dimers comprising paramagnetic metal ions as molecular cells for quantum cellular automata (QCA). Thus, we propose to combine the underlying idea behind the functionality of QCA of using the charge distributions to encode binary information with the additional functional options provided by the spin degrees of freedom. The multifunctional ('smart') cell is supposed to consist of multielectron MV d(n)-d(n+1)-type (1 ≤ n ≤ 8) dimers of transition metal ions as building blocks for composing bi-dimeric square planar cells for QCA. The theoretical model of such a cell involves the double exchange (DE), Heisenberg-Dirac-Van Vleck (HDVV) excha…
Asymptotic properties of the Dirac quantum cellular automaton
2016
We show that the Dirac quantum cellular automaton [Ann. Phys. 354 (2015) 244] shares many properties in common with the discrete-time quantum walk. These similarities can be exploited to study the automaton as a unitary process that takes place at regular time steps on a one-dimensional lattice, in the spirit of general quantum cellular automata. In this way, it becomes an alternative to the quantum walk, with a dispersion relation that can be controlled by a parameter, which plays a similar role to the coin angle in the quantum walk. The Dirac Hamiltonian is recovered under a suitable limit. We provide two independent analytical approximations to the long term probability distribution. It …

Insight Into The Spin-Vibronic Problem of a Mixed Valence Magnetic Molecular Cell for Quantum Cellular Automata.
2021
The effects of the vibronic coupling in quantum cellular automata (QCA) based on the square planar mixed valence (MV) molecular cells comprising four paramagnetic centers (spin cores) and two excess mobile electrons are analyzed in the important particular case when the Coulomb energy gap between the ground antipodal diagonal-type two-electron configurations and the excited side-type configurations considerably exceeds both the one-electron transfer parameter (strong U-limit) and the vibronic stabilization energy. Under such conditions the developed model involves the second-order double exchange, the Heisenberg-Dirac-Van Vleck (HDVV) exchange and the vibronic coupling of the excess electro…
Exploration of the double exchange in quantum cellular automata: proposal for a new class of cells
2020
In this communication we propose to considerably extend the class of systems suitable as cells for quantum cellular automata by including magnetic quantum dots and molecular mixed valence dimers exhibiting double exchange. As distinguished from the previous works we propose to use not only charges as the information carriers but also spin degrees of freedom. In this context we focus on the two key points: (1) properties of the magnetic cell as reservoir for charges carrying binary information, and (2) identification of conditions under which spin degrees of freedom can be employed.
Mixed-valence molecular four-dot unit for quantum cellular automata: Vibronic self-trapping and cell-cell response
2015
Our interest in this article is prompted by the vibronic problem of charge polarized states in the four-dot molecular quantum cellular automata (mQCA), a paradigm for nanoelectronics, in which binary information is encoded in charge configuration of the mQCA cell. Here, we report the evaluation of the electronic levels and adiabatic potentials of mixed-valence (MV) tetra-ruthenium (2Ru(ii) + 2Ru(iii)) derivatives (assembled as two coupled Creutz-Taube complexes) for which molecular implementations of quantum cellular automata (QCA) was proposed. The cell based on this molecule includes two holes shared among four spinless sites and correspondingly we employ the model which takes into accoun…
A Tool for Implementing and Exploring SBM Models: Universal 1D Invertible Cellular Automata
2005
The easiest form of designing Cellular Automata rules with features such as invertibility or particle conserving is to rely on a partitioning scheme, the most important of which is the 2D Margolus neighborhood. In this paper we introduce a 1D Margolus-like neighborhood that gives support to a complete set of Cellular Automata models. We present a set of models called Sliding Ball Models based on this neighborhood and capable of universal computation. We show the way of designing logic gates with these models, propose a digital structure to implement them and finally we present SBMTool, a software development system capable of working with the new models.
Quantum versus Probabilistic One-Way Finite Automata with Counter
2001
The paper adds the one-counter one-way finite automaton [6] to the list of classical computing devices having quantum counterparts more powerful in some cases. Specifically, two languages are considered, the first is not recognizable by deterministic one-counter one-way finite automata, the second is not recognizable with bounded error by probabilistic one-counter one-way finite automata, but each recognizable with bounded error by a quantum one-counter one-way finite automaton. This result contrasts the case of one-way finite automata without counter, where it is known [5] that the quantum device is actually less powerful than its classical counterpart.
