Shuyuan Yang, Min Wang, Licheng Jiao

Abstract: In this paper, an algorithm - the quantum evolutionary algorithm (QEA) is introduced. It is characterized by a representation of quantum chromosomes, quantum mutation and quantum crossover. Its advantages lies on better diversity of individuals, effective guidance of mutation and the avoidance of prematurity by crossover. Some simulations are given to illustrate its efficiency and better performance than its counterpart. Finally, we applied it to the multi-user detection in DS-CDMA, and good results are attained.
