Qubit-inspired Genetic Algorithm (QGA) is an extension of genetic algorithm in which quantum mechanics and its representations are introduced. A chromosome in our QGA is concretized as a series of quantum-bit (qubit) described by its complex-valued representation, and phase-rotation gates are embedded into the selection process over generations. In our previous work, it has been shown that this scheme has better performances than the classical ones in several problems such as N-K landscape problem, Knapsack Problem, Maximum Search, and Construction of image filters. In this paper, we make clear the effectiveness of the QGA by comparing QGA with GA through minimum solution problem on De Jong's functions.
