As to the high request of low power consumption for hardware/software partitioning algorithm in multi-core processor structure, based on reducing the system power consumption, the relevant formal model was defined, and the problem was decomposed into two periods: the task division of heterogeneous multi-core platform and low power scheduling. The quantum genetic algorithm was proposed in the paper by taking the advantage of quantum computing combined with the traditional genetic algorithm, and the scheduling method based on critical tasks was used to solve scheduling problems of task after division. Experimental results show that the quantum genetic algorithm increases the diversity of population in the process of task partitioning and the task scheduling algorithm based on the key tasks determines the optimal execution order. The whole algorithm achieves the design goals of reducing the power consumption of the system and lessening the time complexity.

Aiming at the problem of traditional fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm that it is sensitive to the initial clustering centers and easy to fall into the local optimization, an improved algorithm that combines Improved Quantum Genetic Optimization with FCM algorithm is proposed. In this study, chromosomes are comprised of quantum bits encoded by real number. Chromosomes are renovated by quantum rotating gates and mutated by quantum hadamard gate. The gradients of object function are utilized in adjusting the value of rotating angle by a dynamic strategy. Each chain of genes represents a optimization result, Therefore, a double searching space is acquired for the same number of chromosomes. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves the stability and the accuracy of classification．

Quantum-inspired Genetic Algorithm (QGA) is a probabilistic search optimization method combined quantum computation and genetic algorithm. In QGA, the chromosomes are encoded by qubits and are updated by quantum rotation gates, which can achieve a genetic search. Asset-based weapon target assignment (WTA) problem can be described as an optimization problem in which the defenders assign the weapons to hostile targets in order to maximize the value of a group of surviving assets threatened by the targets. It has already been proven that the WTA problem is NP-complete. In this study, we propose a QGA and a hybrid-QGA to solve an asset-based WTA problem. In the proposed QGA, a set of probabilistic superposition of qubits are coded and collapsed into a target number. Q-gate updating strategy is also used for search guidance. The hybrid-QGA is generated by incorporating both the random search capability of QGA and the evolution capability of genetic algorithm (GA). To observe the performance of each algorithm, we construct three synthetic WTA problems and check how each algorithm works on them. Simulation results show that all of the algorithm have good quality of solutions. Since the difference among mean resulting value is within 2%, we run the nonparametric pairwise Wilcoxon rank sum test for testing the equality of the means among the results. The Wilcoxon test reveals that GA has better quality than the others. In contrast, the simulation results indicate that hybrid-QGA and QGA is much faster than GA for the production of the same number of generations.

특징 선택은 패턴 인식의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 부분집합을 구성하는 중요한 문제다. 특징 선택에는 순차 탐색 알고리즘으로부터 확률 기반의 유전 알고리즘까지 다양한 접근 방법이 적용 되었다. 본 연구에서는 특징 선택을 위해 양자 비트, 상태의 중첩 등 양자 컴퓨터 개념을 기반으로 하는 양자 기반 유전 알고리즘(QGA: Quantum-inspired Genetic Algorithm)을 적용하였다. QGA 성능은 전통적인 유전 알고리즘(CGA: Conventional Genetic Algorithm)을 적용한 특징 선택 방법과 분류율 및 평균 특징 개수의 비교를 통해 이루어졌으며, UCI 데이터를 이용한 실험 결과 QGA를 적용한 특징 선택 방법이 CGA를 적용한 경우에 비해 전반적으로 좋은 성능을 보임을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Feature selection is the important technique of selecting a subset of relevant features for building robust pattern recognition systems. Various methods have been studied for feature selection from sequential search algorithms to stochastic algorithms. In this work, we adopted a Quantum-inspired Genetic Algorithm (QGA) which is based on the concept and principles of quantum computing such as Q-bits and superposition of state for feature selection. The performance of QGA is compared to that of the Conventional Genetic Algorithm (CGA) with respect to the classification rates and the number of selected features. The experimental result using UCI data sets shows that QGA is superior to CGA.
