Genetic Algorithms¶. a genetic algorithm is a variant of local beam search where the next state is generated by combining two parent states instead of modifying a single state. it tries to mimic the ...

Besides, local search algorithms have a common phenomenon that they are easy to trap into a local optimum. The team also proposes a new scheme to help the algorithm find a feasible solution faster ...

"In machine learning, local minima—not global minima—are what practical algorithms find and use successfully. This sparked our curiosity about local minima in quantum systems." ...
