Quantum genetic algorithm based on qutrits and its application (Q1721560)

Summary: Typical approaches to designing quantum genetic algorithms are based on a concept of a qubit, a two-level quantum system. But many-valued quantum logic is more perspective from the point of view of the computational power. This paper proposes a quantum genetic algorithm based on a three-level quantum system in order to accelerate evolutionary process. Simulation using a set of standard test functions proves that the given algorithm is more effective and precise than the conventional quantum genetic algorithm.
