Abstract

The algorithm in this paper is based on the combination of Quantum Evolutionary algorithm (QEA) and Ant Colony System (ACS), a new algorithm, Quantum Ant Colony Algorithm (QACA) is proposed in this paper. The core is that Q-bit and quantum rotation gate adopted in QEA are introduced into ACS to represent and update the pheromone respectively, so it has better diversity and global search capacity. The experimental result demonstrates that QACA can get better solutions to some Traveling Salesman Problems (TSP) than the solutions given in TSPLIB
