Abstract: 0-1 knapsack problem is a typical NP-hard problem in combinatorial optimization.A quantum-inspired ant colony algorithm for solving the 0-1 knapsack problem is proposed which is based on the combination of ant colony optimization and quantum computing.In the algorithm,the pheromone is expressed by quantum bits,and quantum rotation gates are used to update the ant pheromone.Series of test instances validate the effectiveness of the algorithm.The proposed algorithm can reduce the searching time and has better performance in reaching the global optimum.
