Majority Gate: All three inputs get a vote, majority rules.

 

OR Gate: Anchor (fix) one input at 1. Then if either of two free inputs goes to 1, get 1 as output.

 

AND Gate: Anchor (fix) one input at 0. Then both of the free inputs must go to 1 in order to get 1 as output.

 

QCA's combined to form a binary adder (a basic building block that allows computers to do math)
