In this paper we have proposed an efficient method based on Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to design quantum cellular automata (QCA) circuits with minimum possible number of gates. The basic gates used to design these circuits are 2-input and 3-input NAND gates in addition to inverter gate. Due to use of these two types of NAND gates and their contradictory effects, a new fitness function has been defined. In addition, in this method we have used a type of mutation operator that can significantly help the GA to avoid local optima. The results show that the proposed approach is very efficient in deriving NAND based QCA designs. © 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH.
