a novel improved quantum genetic algorithm(NIQGA)to solve combinatorial optimization problem is proposed.To make full use of interference and entanglement characteristics of quantum state
dynamic step length in adjustment of angle of quantum gate
quantum crossover operation and quantum mutation operation are introduced
therefore high efficiency for optimization is achieved.Two typical combinatorial optimization problems—0/1 knapsack problem and route selection problem
are adopted to confirm the performance of NIQGA.Experimental results show that compared with GA and QGA
NIQGA is characterized by fast convergence rate and excellent capability on global optimization
especially better performance for combinatorial optimization problem with less correlation of genes.
