abstract = "Quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithms
(QIEAs)exploit principles of quantum mechanics to
improve the performance of classical evolutionary
algorithms. This paper describes the latest version of
a QIEA model (Quantum-Inspired Linear Genetic
Programming, QILGP) to evolve machine code programs.
QILGP is inspired on multilevel quantum systems and its
operation is based on quantum individuals, which
represent a superposition of all programs of search
space (solutions). Symbolic regression problems and the
current more efficient model to evolve machine code
(AIMGP) are used in comparative tests, which aim to
evaluate the performance impact of introducing demes
(subpopulations) and a limited migration strategy in
this version of QILGP. It outperforms AIMGP by
obtaining better solutions with fewer parameters and
operators. The performance improvement achieved by this
latest version of QILGP encourages its ongoing and
future enhancements. Thus, this paper concludes that
the quantum inspiration paradigm can be a competitive
approach to evolve programs more efficiently.",
