Quantum genetic algorithms(QGA) typically construct traditional quantum chromosomes as independent quantum bit systems, which has facilitated the enhancement of search speed and precision in genetic algorithms, demonstrating powerful problem-solving capabilities in optimization issues. Although traditional QGA have enriched population diversity, they still tend to fall into local optima, and the evolutionary update operations require rotation directions to be determined by lookup tables, a process involving multiple conditional judgments that affect algorithm efficiency. To address these issues, an improved method has been proposed to further enhance the performance of QGA. In the initial population selection, a population grouping evolution method based on microhabitat coevolution strategy is used to prevent the algorithm from getting trapped in local optima when solving complex function problems. Additionally, quantum entanglement is introduced on top of quantum super-position by implementing quantum entanglement using quantum registers, and higher-order quantum rotation gates are employed that do not involve multiple conditional judgments of lookup tables, thus improving the efficiency of quantum chromosome measurement and evolutionary updates. Finally, traditional QGA and higher-order quantum genetic algorithms were applied to test functions in multiple experiments. The results indicate that, compared to traditional QGA, the higher-order quantum genetic algorithms have achieved an increase in convergence speed, an approximate 14.3% improvement in convergence precision, and possess enhanced global search capabilities.

We present a new evolutionary algorithm on the basis of quantum computations technology for solving optimization problems. The algorithm is built using many-valued quantum logic concept, which is more prospective from the computing power’s point of view. We compare the suggested algorithm to the traditional quantum genetic algorithm to demonstrate its high effectiveness on the example of test function global optimization problems. The advantages can be observed in the running time, the convergence speed, and the solution precision. The proposed implementation for the algorithm of quantum gate operator has an adaptive nature and does not require a lookup table. The role and the influence mechanism of the quantum disaster operator on the proposed algorithm effectiveness are also analyzed.

Abstract—Improving circuit realization of known quantum algorithms by CAD techniques has benefits for quantum experimentalists. In this paper, we address the problem of synthesizing a given k-input, m-output lookup table (LUT) by a reversible circuit. This problem has interesting applications in the Shor’s number-factoring algorithm and in quantum walk on sparse graphs. For LUT synthesis, our approach targets the number of control lines in multiple-control Toffoli gates to reduce synthesis cost. To achieve this, we propose a multi-level optimization technique for reversible circuits to benefit from shared cofactors. To reuse output qubits and/or zero-initialized ancillae, we uncompute intermediate cofactors. Our simulations reveal that the proposed LUT synthesis has a significant impact on reducing the size of modular exponentiation circuits for Shor’s quantum factoring algorithm, oracle circuits in quantum walk on sparse graphs, and the well-known MCNC benchmarks.
