A quantum genetic algorithm with quantum crossover and mutation operations
In the context of evolutionary quantum computing in the literal meaning, a
quantum crossover operation has not been introduced so far. Here, we introduce
a novel quantum genetic algorithm which has a quantum crossover procedure
performing crossovers among all chromosomes in parallel for each generation. A
complexity analysis shows that a quadratic speedup is achieved over its
classical counterpart in the dominant factor of the run time to handle each
generation.Comment: 21 pages, 1 table, v2: typos corrected, minor modifications in
sections 3.5 and 4, v3: minor revision, title changed (original title:
Semiclassical genetic algorithm with quantum crossover and mutation
operations), v4: minor revision, v5: minor grammatical corrections, to appear
in QI
