Designing And Comparing Classic Versus Quantum Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

Abstract

Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is based on natural behavior of honey bees and has earned good success in optimization area. In this paper a new quantum inspired algorithm that is called Quantum Artificial Bee Colony (QABC) is presented. QABC is a general method and in this work it is adapted to be applied on Knapsack 0-1 problem. In the experiments QABC is compared with classic ABC and the results present robustness of QABC.
