Abstract :
In this paper a multiple-valued algebra, super switch algebra, is formalized. The algebra is well suited for the design of quantum device based multiple-valued systems. A minimization algorithm based on this algebra is proposed. This new algebraic algorithm has some advantages over the existing map-based procedure and subfunction-based algorithm. Benchmark functions are minimized and the results are discussed. Further improvements to the algorithm are suggested
