MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541044873 A) filed by R. M. K. College Of Engineering And Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on May 9, 2025, for 'low power high-speed area efficient adder using quantum dot cellular automata-a nano technology method.'

Inventor(s) include Ms. P. Sivalakshmi; and Dr. K. Sangeethalakshmi.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The main concerns with VLSI circuit design are power, area, and complexity. This work uses Quantum Dot Cellular Automata (QCA) to design and implement a fast adder. Compared to other designs, the QCA design uses fewer cells and takes up less space to design a circuit. A fundamental component of nanotechnology, the QCA cell can be used to create memories, gates, and wires. Other logical circuits can be designed using the Majority Gate (MG) and the inverter, which are the fundamental logic circuits used in this technology. In this project, adders of different kinds are implemented in QCA, and the QCA designer 2.0 tool is used to analyse cell count, time, power, and area."
