We present a proposal for an experiment to demonstrate QCA (Quantum CellularAutomaton) functionality for a cell fabricated with silicon-on-insulator technology. Thefundamental feature of a working QCA cell consists in the anticorrelated transition ofelectrons in the two pairs of dots forming the cell: we show how such a phenomenon canbe detected from the appearance of a “locking” effect between the Coulomb Blockadecurrent peaks relative to each pair. The proposed approach allows the detection of QCAaction without the need for additional noninvasive charge detectors probing each dot.We have performed detailed numerical simulations on the basis of interdot capacitancevalues obtained from experimental data and determined the range of parameters withinwhich the effect should be detectable
