Quantum Entanglement inspired Differential Evolution algorithm
Abhishek Dixit, Ashish Mani · 2023
The Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm is an efficient algorithm with strong search capability. This algorithm is easy to implement and used for solving large-scale optimization problems. However, DE also has drawbacks of insufficient diversity in the later search stage, while solving optimization problems, slow convergence speed, and a high search stagnation possibility. Quantum Entanglement inspired Differential Evolution algorithm (QE-DE) has been proposed in this paper to solve the drawbacks of DE. For solving high-dependency optimization problems, QE-DE integrates entangled states in its Qubits (or quantum bit). The optimization process is further accelerated by utilizing the quantum local search. The proposed QE-DE algorithm is evaluated on the IEEE Congress of Evolutionary Computing (CEC 2017) benchmark set for 10 and 30-dimensions. QE-DE is also compared with existing variants of DE and some other popular algorithms. QE-DE outperforms the performance comparison results.
