Accordingly, the operation times of such gates while functioning in algorithm applications depend on the number of photons present in their resonant cavities. Multi-qubit algorithms can be realized in systems in which the photon number is increased slightly over the qubit number. In addition, the time required for operation is considerably less than the dephasing and relaxation times of the systems. The contextual use of the photon number as a main control in the realization of any algorithm was demonstrated. The results indicate the possibility of a full integration into the realization of multi-qubit multiphoton states and its application in algorithm designs. Yhrthermore, this approach will lead to a successful implementation of these designs in future experiments.展开更多

However, the MIOCP is a typical NP-hard problem with considerable computational complexity, resulting in slow convergence or premature convergence by most current heuristic optimization algorithms. Accordingly, this study proposes a new and effective hybrid algorithm based on quantum computing theory to solve the MIOCP. The algorithm consists of two parts:(i) Quantum Annealing(QA) specializes in solving integer optimization with high efficiency owing to the unique annealing process based on quantum tunneling, and(ii) Double-Elite Quantum Ant Colony Algorithm(DEQACA) which adopts double-elite coevolutionary mechanism to enhance global searching is developed for the optimization of continuous decisions. The hybrid QA/DEQACA algorithm integrates the strengths of such algorithms to better balance the exploration and exploitation abilities. The overall evolution performs to seek out the optimal mixed-integer decisions by interactive parallel computing of the QA and the DEQACA. Simulation results on benchmark functions and practical engineering optimization problems verify that the proposed numerical method is more excel at achieving promising results than other two state-of-the-art heuristics.展开更多
