      abstract = {This research monograph focuses on the design of  arithmetic circuits in Quantum Dot Cellular Automata (QCA).  Using the fact that the 3-input majority gate is a  primitive in QCA, the book sets out to discover hitherto  unknown properties of majority logic in the context of  arithmetic circuit designs. The pursuit for efficient  adders in QCA takes two forms. One involves application of  the new results in majority logic to existing adders. The  second involves development of a custom adder for QCA  technology. A QCA adder named as hybrid adder is proposed  and it is shown that it outperforms existing multi-bit  adders with respect to area and delay. The work is extended  to the design of a low-complexity multiplier for signed  numbers in QCA. Furthermore the book explores two aspects  unique to QCA technology, namely thermal robustness and the  role of interconnects. In addition, the book introduces the  reader to QCA layout design and simulation using  QCADesigner. Features & Benefits: This research-based book:  · Introduces the reader to Quantum Dot Cellular Automata,  an emerging nanotechnology. · Explores properties of  majority logic. · Demonstrates application of the  properties to design efficient arithmetic circuits. ·  Guides the reader towards layout design and simulation in  QCADesigner.},
