QEA (Quantum-inspired Evolutionary Algorithm)

Abstract

A quantum computer exploits the inherent parallelism that is provided by the superposition of quantum states. All states can be represented using probabilistic methods in parallel processing, and the act of observing the quantum computer produces a single state. A novel evolutionary computing algorithm called the Quantum-inspired Evolutionary Algorithm (QEA) was proposed and pursued. QEA is characterized by principles of quantum computing including concepts of qubits and superposition of states. QEA uses a Q-bit representation instead of binary, numeric or symbolic representations. QEA can imitate parallel computation in classical computers.
