Abstract
We describe a paradigm for computing with interacting quantum dots, qu antum-dot cellular automata (QCA). We show how arrays of quantum-dot c ells could be used to perform useful computations. A new adiabatic swi tching paradigm is developed which permits clocked control, eliminates metastability problems, and enables a pipelined architecture.
