There is an ever-growing need for optimizing efficient nano and quantum communication systems and this demand calls for more advanced optimization techniques than those that have been around for quite some time. The conventional genetic algorithms (GAs) proved to be quite helpful in general but proved to be poor when it comes to fast convergence and adaptability to the changing communication environment. Moreover, fault tolerance and resource efficiency in these communication channels are poorly addressed, giving rise to a huge roadblock to practical implementations in a number of different use cases. This research presents a set of novel hybrid optimization methods aimed at addressing the issues previously mentioned. In the first place, a Quantum-inspired Genetic Algorithm (QIGA) with Simulated Annealing (SA) Initialization is proposed through augmenting traditional genetic operations with the quantum computing paradigm. In the first instance, the hybrid approach works by utilizing the parameters derived from SA while initializing the GA population, hence effective exploration of solution space. Additionally, the Adaptive Genetic Algorithm with Reinforcement Learning (AGA-RL) is presented, which uses real-time feedback from the current environment to modify the GA parameters. This way, the system will be much more adaptive and hence be able to adjust the GA so that it can match the rapidly changing channel conditions. Simultaneously, the Fault-Tolerant Genetic Algorithm with Error-Correcting Codes (FTGA-ECC) is developed to ensure reliable data transmission, especially in an error-prone environment. To make up for resource constraints, the Energy-Aware Genetic Algorithm with Dynamic Resource Allocation (EAGA-DRA) strategy ensures that resources are well-managed by dynamically changing allocation based on the optimization process and the particular needs of the channel, hence reducing energy overhead and spatial overhead without compromising channel quality. A great leap is in the integration of Machine Learning through the Deep Reinforcement Learning-guided Genetic Algorithm (DRL-GA). The above approach exploits deep reinforcement learning to fine-tune the exploration and exploitation strategies of the GA, hence providing faster convergence and improved solution quality. All of these methods are validated by the Quantum-inspired Benchmarking Framework (QIBF), which forms a systematized comparative platform to evaluate different optimization techniques from the perspective of QCA-based communication systems. The above approaches not only provide the improvement in efficiency and reliability but also contribute to enhancing the adaptability of communication systems and provide a very good base for future research and development in the field of quantum communications and beyond, with potential applications extending to secure communication, quantum computing, and nanotechnology-based devices & scenarios. This work is multifold, promising significant advancements in the field of quantum communication and beyond. The empirical findings showed that the suggested algorithms perform significantly better than traditional approaches in several important performance metrics, such as robustness to channel errors, adaptability to changing signal-to-noise ratios, convergence speed under dynamic conditions, and solution quality in highly variable environments.INDEX TERMS Quantum-inspired genetic algorithm, adaptive genetic algorithm, fault-tolerance, energy-efficient optimization, deep reinforcement learning.

Quantum communication ensures that data remains secure from unauthorized access. Despite these advantages, this technology faces several challenges. For instance, photons can be lost when they go through channels, and there is a chance of eavesdropping, that make the system not as trustworthy, safe, and efficient. To make quantum communication systems function effectively in the real world, we need to combine advanced technologies like quantum error correction mechanisms and quantum repeaters. This work suggests a unified Quantum Inspired Genetic Algorithm (QIGA) framework that utilizes collaborative quantum repeaters to conquer the limitations of network links over distance. This study introduces a hybrid optimization topology (OT) that integrates mesh, star, and ring configurations for measurement device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) networks. This approach allows for the efficient use of resources for scalable quantum communication networks. The proposed network architecture integrates 12 user nodes, a trusted node, and a single shared quantum repeater within a hybrid topology. The repeater deployment has been designed to support links that are longer than 52 km. This design accommodates deployments on various scales, small, medium, and large, while optimizing resource usage and infrastructure costs. We evaluated the performance and security trade offs in quantum communication networks by optimizing three topologies with a QIGA: ring, ring-star, and ring-star-mesh hybrid (QIGA−OT). The optimization methodology aims to reconcile essential performance metrics, such as the Secure Key Rate (SKR), Quantum Bit Error Rate (QBER), channel loss, and Merit of Quantum Efficiency (MQE). MQE functions as a metric for evaluating trades concerning security, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness within the network. This work presents a novel approach for utilizing quantum-inspired in the effective design and implementation of scalable network topologies across numerous fields of application.
