  • Abstract
    Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is a digital logic architecture that uses single electrons in arrays of quantum dots to perform binary operations. A QCA latch is an elementary building block which can be used to build shift registers and logic devices for clocked QCA architectures. We discuss the operation of a QCA latch and a shift register and present an analysis of the types and properties of errors encountered in their operation.
