Abstract

To improve search ability and optimization efficiency and to avoid premature con- vergence for particle swarms optimization,a novel quantum particle swarm optimization for continuous space optimization is proposed.The positions of particles are encoded by the prob- ability amplitudes of quantum bits,the movements of particles are performed by quantum rotation gates,which achieve particles searching.The mutations of particles are performed by quantum non-gate,which increase the diversity Of particles.As each quantum bit contains two probability amplitudes,each particle occupies two positions in space.Hence,the process of searching is accelerated.The experimental results show that the algorithm proposed is superior to the basic particle swarms optimization.

Quantum particle swarm optimization based on Bloch coordinates of qubits

Xiande Liu, Xiaoming Liu

To improve the efficiency of particle swarm optimization, a quantum particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed on the basis of analyzing the search process of particle swarm optimization algorithm. In the proposed algorithm, particles are endoded by qubits described on the Bloch sphere, each particle occupy three locations of the search space, and each location represents a optimization solution. By employing the search method of general PSO to adjust the two parameters of qubit, the qubits rotation are performed on the Bloch sphere, which can simultaneously update three locations occupied by a qubit and quickly approach the global optimal solution. The experimental results of standard test function extreme optimization and fuzzy controller parameters optimization show that the proposed algorithm is superior to other similar algorithm in optimization ability and optimization efficiency.

Research on Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm Based on Quantum Computing Technology

Guanghui Wang

In view of the shortcomings of particle swarm optimization such as premature convergence to local optimization, particle swarm optimization algorithm based on quantum gate and particle swarm optimization algorithm based on quantum behavior are studied in this paper. The first algorithm uses the random observation method of quantum bit coding particles to simulate quantum particle collapse for generating a population and uses the quantum rotating gate to generate a new population. The adaptive mutation operator is used for ensuring the diversity of the population, effectively reducing the impact of local optimization; therefore, the robustness of the algorithm is improved. The second algorithm uses the probability density function of quantum computation to make the particles jump out of the local extreme points and fulfils the global search, which is more suitable for continuous optimization. The results of computational experiments show that both the two particle swarm optimization algorithms based on quantum technology have a good global convergence.

Quantum-Inspired Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm Encoded by Probability Amplitudes of Multi-Qubits

Xin Li, Huangfu Xu, Xuezhong Guan

To enhance the optimization ability of particle swarm algorithm, a novel quantum-inspired particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed. In this method, the particles are encoded by the probability amplitudes of the basic states of the multi-qubits system. The rotation angles of multi-qubits are determined based on the local optimum particle and the global optimal particle, and the multi-qubits rotation gates are employed to update the particles. At each of iteration, updating any qubit can lead to updating all probability amplitudes of the corresponding particle. The experimental results of some benchmark functions optimization show that, although its single step iteration consumes long time, the optimization ability of the proposed method is significantly higher than other similar algorithms.
