Quantum algorithms: applications, criteria and metrics

Abstract

Abstract In the field of data processing and IoT communication it is possible to develop more robust solutions by combining quantum algorithms with metaheuristics. Said solutions can be applied in the industry and be measured using metrics associated with complexity, efficiency, processing, and accuracy. An extensive bibliographical review is carried out to determine which is the most efficient and effective hybrid algorithm that can be applied to a real experimental case, which aims to improve communication to reduce occupational risks. Criteria, metrics, and experimental results were obtained, in which it is shown that the quantum genetic algorithm is better than the genetic algorithm. A detailed discussion on the objective function, the convergence to the global optimum, and the need to improve the obtained solutions is given. The conclusions raise new aspects that need investigation.
