QCASim

A Quantum Cellular Automata (QCA) simulation framework for academic research, providing tools to model and analyze quantum dot cellular automata circuits.

Features

• Simulation engine: Supports built-in bistable and ICHA model with option to use custom models as well.
• File Formats: Defines and uses .qcd (QCA Design) and .qcs (QCA Simulation) file formats
• Truth Table Analysis: Generate and analyze logic truth tables from simulation results
• CLI Interface: Command-line tools for simulation and analysis
• Example Designs: Includes wire, inverter, majority gate, and memory cell designs
• Analysis: Interactive analysis scripts for simulation data
