Quantum‐dot cellular automata (QCA), a promising candidate nanotechnology for the next generation computers, has attracted the interest of researchers all over the world since 1993. The divider is a major component of arithmetic logic unit, which has a remarkable impact on the performance of the central processing unit. The widely used algorithm in the divider is the non‐restoring division, but there is no work which has reported the implementation of non‐restoring dividers based on QCA. Presented is the design of a non‐restoring binary array divider in QCA and its validity is verified using QCADesigner software. The proposed non‐restoring divider has the advantage of time‐saving and is easy to control when compared with the existing restoring dividers.
