Abstract

This chapter introduces the quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA), what constructs can be made from it, and what constructs could be implementable in the near-to-midterm. It will also explain a systems-level research component that complements work in physical science. One objective of the systems-level track is to compile a set of design rules to not only help system designers become more involved with the evolution of emergent, nano-scale devices geared for computation, but it should also help us to reach computationally interesting, nano-scale systems in an accelerated time frame. The motivations for, and the origins of design rules for QCA (and other emergent technologies) will be explained here.
