description In this study, we propose a quantum structure of an associative memory cell for effective data learning based on artificial intelligence. 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). A CAM cell is composed of a memory unit that stores information, a match unit that performs a search, and a structure, using an XOR gate or an XNOR gate in the match unit, that shows good performance. In this study, we designed an XNOR gate with a multilayer structure based on electron interactions and proposed a QCA-based CAM cell using it. The area and time efficiency are verified through a simulation using QCADesigner, and the quantum cost of the proposed XOR gate and CAM cell were reduced by at least 70% and 15%, respectively, when compared to the latest research. In addition, we physically proved the potential energy owing to the interaction between the electrons inside the QCA cell. We also proposed an additional CAM circuit targeting the reduction in energy dissipation that overcomes the best available designs. The simulation and calculation of power dissipation are performed by QCADesigner-E and it is confirmed that more than 27% is reduced.
