This paper investigates the application of quantum-inspired concepts to enhance the performance of random walk algorithms, specifically within the domain of global optimization. Classical random walk algorithms frequently struggle with convergence issues, frequently becoming trapped within local optima, a significant limitation when dealing with complex, high-dimensional search spaces. This research proposes a novel approach where random walk behavior is modeled based on principles derived from quantum mechanics, incorporating superposition and interference effects to facilitate more extensive and efficient exploration of the solution landscape. The core idea is to replace the deterministic step size in traditional random walks with a probabilistic movement governed by a quantum-like probability distribution. We explore the mathematical formulation of this process, detailing the probabilities of transition between states and the impact of interference. The resulting algorithms demonstrate improved convergence rates and a reduced tendency to get stuck in local optima compared to standard random walk methods. The paper concludes by outlining potential future research directions, including adaptive parameter tuning and integration with other optimization techniques.

The rapid growth of machine learning (ML) has been accompanied by a significant challenge: the scaling of optimization algorithms to handle the immense parameter spaces of modern models, such as deep neural networks.
