Toffoli Gate - Related Logic Gates

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.

    Chinese proverb.

    Somebody who should have been born

    Yes, woman, such logic will lead
    to loss without death. Or say what you meant,
    you coward . . . this baby that I bleed.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Human life, old and young, takes place between hope and remembrance. The young man sees all the gates to his desires open, and the old man remembers—his hopes.
