Prospective Algorithms for Quantum Evolutionary Computation (0804.1133v1)
Published 7 Apr 2008 in cs.NE
Abstract: This effort examines the intersection of the emerging field of quantum computing and the more established field of evolutionary computation. The goal is to understand what benefits quantum computing might offer to computational intelligence and how computational intelligence paradigms might be implemented as quantum programs to be run on a future quantum computer. We critically examine proposed algorithms and methods for implementing computational intelligence paradigms, primarily focused on heuristic optimization methods including and related to evolutionary computation, with particular regard for their potential for eventual implementation on quantum computing hardware.
