abstract = "We review how computational search techniques inspired
by biological evolution have been used to discover
quantum circuits and quantum algorithms. We discuss
issues in representing quantum artefacts in a form
suitable for evolutionary search, various quantum
artefacts that have been discovered through
evolutionary search, and future prospects for this
approach.",
