Quantum Inspired Computational Intelligence
by Siddhartha Bhattacharyya, Ujjwal Maulik, Paramartha Dutta
Foreword
Inspiration is at the heart of every algorithm design. Recently we have experienced an increase in algorithm designs inspired no longer only by biology but by all disciplines of human culture, modeling, nature, and systems. One of these enterprises is quantum computing. The fundamental ideas of quantum physics to model microscopic phenomena have some implications for computing paradigms, as was found about 2 decades ago. As long as there is no observation, a system remains in a mixed state that is a superposition of all states in which it can be observed by some chance expressed in weighting factors for each particular state. A quantum computer is thought to be able to process the superposed states all at once, in parallel so to say. ...
