As the relationship between energy and information loss and reversible gates was revealed, much interest in reversible gate design arose, and as quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) gained attention as a next-generation nano circuit design technology, various reversible gates based on QCA emerged. The proposed study optimizes the performance and design costs of existing QCA-based reversible gates including TR, RUG, PQR, and URG. According to most indicators, the proposed circuits showed significant improvement rates and outperformed existing studies.

In this study, we propose a demultiplexer (DeMux), which is essential for safe data distribution in reliable communication network and signal routing. Our DeMux is designed based on single-layer cell interaction and maximizes area utilization while using the minimum number of cells and low area.

For effective learning of related data, content-based retrieval and storage rather than memory address is essential. A content-addressable memory (CAM), which is an efficient memory cell structure for this purpose, in a quantum computing environment, is designed based on quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA).

This cryptographic transformation is currently done through CMOS. It has been developed by reducing the size of the gate and increasing the degree of integration, but it has reached the limit of integration due to the quantum tunneling phenomenon.

Meanwhile, the divider is the most-used circuit in arithmetic operations with squares and multipliers, and the development of effective dividers is crucial for improving the efficiency of inversion and exponentiation, which is known as the most complex operation. In most public-key cryptography systems, the corresponding operations are used by applying algebraic structures such as fields or groups.
