A Methodology Based on Quantum Evolutionary Algorithm for Topology Optimization of Electromagnetic Devices

Stochastic algorithms are powerful global optimizers in topology optimizations (TOs). However, the low convergence speed and high computational cost, due to the large dimensionality of a TO problem, of such an approach are still two open issues to be addressed. To address these two issues, a TO methodology based on a modified quantum evolutionary algorithm is proposed. In the proposed methodology,...
