Quantum-Inspired Stochastic Search for Complex Optimization Landscapes

Jincheng Zhang

This research presents a novel stochastic search algorithm, termed Quantum-Inspired Stochastic Search (QISS), designed to address the challenges posed by complex, high-dimensional, and non-convex optimization landscapes. Traditional stochastic search methods often struggle in these scenarios due to premature convergence and difficulty exploring diverse regions of the solution space. QISS draws inspiration from quantum mechanics, specifically the concepts of superposition and measurement, to enhance exploration and exploitation. The algorithm maintains candidate solutions in a probabilistic superposition of multiple states, and employs randomized projection operations analogous to quantum measurement to collapse the superposition, effectively guiding the search towards potentially optimal regions. The core idea is to mimic the probabilistic nature of quantum states, allowing the algorithm to simultaneously consider multiple possibilities before "measuring" and focusing on the most promising one. This approach demonstrates potential for improved performance compared to conventional stochastic search techniques, particularly in situations where the landscape is highly irregular and contains numerous local optima. The algorithm's performance is evaluated through simulations, showcasing its ability to navigate complex landscapes and converge towards solutions with improved accuracy and efficiency.
