ABSTRACT:
A quantum effect device implementation of the Shannon Decomposition Function in the form of a Shannon Cell is provided in which a first quantum dot logic unit (50) is coupled between the X input and the output of the Shannon Cell. A second quantum dot logic unit (52) is coupled between the Y input and the output of the Shannon Cell. The control input to the Shannon Cell is coupled to both the first and second quantum dot logic units (50 and 52) such that current flows through the appropriate quantum dot logic unit (50 or 52) depending upon the logic state of the control input.
