We have previously proposed a way of using coupled quantum dots to construct digital computing elements—quantum-dot cellular automata. Here we consider a different approach to using coupled quantum-dot cells in an architecture which, rather than reproducing Boolean logic, uses a physical near-neighbor connectivity to construct an analog cellular neural network.
