Huawei’s Patent Application for Ternary Logic Gate Circuits
Ternary logic gate circuits expand computing beyond binary's 0s and 1s by implementing a three-valued system that offers greater information density, reduced power consumption, and more elegant mathematical operations. This approach could transform computer engineering by reducing transistor counts by 30% and energy usage by 60%, while requiring fundamental redesigns of architecture, tools, and manufacturing. Despite significant implementation challenges, ternary computing may serve as a crucial bridge to future computational paradigms, including quantum systems.
