Related Logic Gates
- The Fredkin gate is a reversible 3-bit gate that swaps the last two bits if the first bit is 1; a controlled-swap operation.
- The n-bit Toffoli gate is a generalization of Toffoli gate. It takes n bits x1, x2, ..., xn as inputs and outputs n bits. The first n−1 output bits are just x1, ..., xn−1. The last output bit is (x1 AND ... AND xn−1) XOR xn.
- The Toffoli gate can be realized by five two-qubit quantum gates.
- This gate is one of the reversible-gate cases that can be modeled with billiard balls (see billiard-ball computer). The billiard ball modeling was introduced by Fredkin and Toffoli. An example of how the collisions are used to model an electronic gate is shown in the figure.

Famous quotes containing the words related, logic and/or gates:
“The near explains the far. The drop is a small ocean. A man is related to all nature. This perception of the worth of the vulgar is fruitful in discoveries. Goethe, in this very thing the most modern of the moderns, has shown us, as none ever did, the genius of the ancients.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend.”
—Francis Bacon (15611626)
“Go through the gates with closed eyes.
Stand erect and let your black face front the west.”
—Arna Bontemps (19021973)
