Abstract

The quantum genetic algorithm (QGA) is derived from the integration of quantum computation and genetic algorithm. It is characterized with advantages like strong global optimization ability, fast convergence speed and small population size. In this paper, the principle, method and basic flow of quantum genetic algorithm (QGA) are introduced, and the research progress of QGA in recent years is reviewed, including the coding extension of theoretical basis, the innovation of operators, the rotation angle of quantum gates, the optimization of complex high-dimensional functions, and hybrid algorithms, and then he application status of QGA is also discussed. Finally, the future development direction of QGA is put forward.

Improvement of Quantum Genetic Algorithm and Its Application

Ge ZHANG

An improved quantum genetic algorithm(IQGA) was proposed to overcome the shortcoming of the quantum genetic algorithm(QGA),i.e. local optimization, when it is used for the optimization of continuous functions with many extreme values. In IQGA, the strategies of updating quantum gate using the best solution obtained and population catastrophe were adopted. The test results for two typical functions show that the convergence speed of IQGA is faster than that of QGA, and IQGA can converge in a global solution space, overcoming the shortcoming of QGA. The application results indicate that IQGA is better than QGA and other genetic algorithms.

An Improved Quantum Genetic Algorithm of Quantum Revolving Gate

Yang Guo-weia

Aiming at the problems that the Quantum Genetic Algorithm(QGA) easily falls into local extremum,an improved QGA algorithm of quantum revolving gate is proposed.In order to achieve the goal of optimization solving,quantum bit probability amplitude is applied to the chromosome encoding,and quantum rotation gate is used to chromosome updating.The theoretical derivation proves that the proposed algorithm converges with probability 1,and the algorithm converges strongly to 1?e.Comparing with double QGA,simulation results show that the algorithm increases complexity,the average time extension,but convergence times increase,convergence times of the function 1 increases from 3 to 7,and convergence times of the function 2 increases from 8 to 9.

Genetic Algorithms and Quantum Computation

Gilson Antonio Giraldi, Renato Portugal, Ricardo N. Thess

Recently, researchers have applied genetic algorithms (GAs) to address some problems in quantum computation. Also, there has been some works in the designing of genetic algorithms based on quantum theoretical concepts and techniques. The so called Quantum Evolutionary Programming has two major sub-areas: Quantum Inspired Genetic Algorithms (QIGAs) and Quantum Genetic Algorithms (QGAs). The former adopts qubit chromosomes as representations and employs quantum gates for the search of the best solution. The later tries to solve a key question in this field: what GAs will look like as an implementation on quantum hardware? As we shall see, there is not a complete answer for this question. An important point for QGAs is to build a quantum algorithm that takes advantage of both the GA and quantum computing parallelism as well as true randomness provided by quantum computers. In the first part of this paper we present a survey of the main works in GAs plus quantum computing including also our works in this area. Henceforth, we review some basic concepts in quantum computation and GAs and emphasize their inherent parallelism. Next, we review the application of GAs for learning quantum operators and circuit design. Then, quantum evolutionary programming is considered. Finally, we present our current research in this field and some perspectives.

Combined with quantum computing and genetic algorithm, quantum genetic algorithm (QGA) shows considerable ability of parallelism. Experiments have shown that QGA performs quite well on TSP, job shop problem and some other typical combinatorial optimization problems. The other problems like nutritional diet which can be transformed into specific combinational optimization problem also can be solved through QGA smoothly. This paper sums up the main points of QGA for general combinatorial optimization problems. These points such as modeling of the problem, qubit decoding and rotation strategy are useful to enhance the convergence speed of QGA and avoid premature at the same time.
