Abstract :
We present a brief survey of recent developments in reversible sequential circuits and quantum finite state machines based on both binary and multiple-valued solutions. We then argue the benefits of adapting the asynchronous approach for reversible sequential circuit design. We offer several new reversible implementations of key elements to be used in reversible asynchronous pipelines. We investigate the physical reversibility of the proposed design.
