To meet the demand for models that has the ability to handle these information with these characteristics, the introduction of neutrosophic sets (NSs) was followed by their extension to the complex neutrosophic sets (CNSs). In this paper, we introduce the concept of Q- complex neutrosophic set (Q-CNS) by extending the ranges of the membership functions in Q-neutrosophic set (Q-NS) from [0,1] to the unit circle in the complex plane. Q-CNS plays a key role in the decision making theory, where the extra information provided by the elements of the Q-set serve in modeling of some decision making problems. Based on this new concept we define the basic theoretical operations such as complement, equality, subset, union, intersection, Q-complex neutrosophic product and Cartesian product. Some related examples are also given to enhance the understanding of the proposed concepts. The basic properties of these operators are also verified with supporting proofs. 2023 08 19 1513 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10.54216/IJNS.200201 https://www.americaspg.com/journal/21/article/1513 https://www.americaspg.com/storage/71675956148.pdf
