A Quantum Inspired Learning Cellular Automaton for Solving the Travelling Salesman Problem

TLDR
Through solving the Travelling Salesman Problem, the effectiveness of the proposed model in implementing a LCA is shown and a better simulation of complex adaptive systems can be envisaged.
Abstract
Cellular automata (CA) have been shown to be suitable for modelling and simulating complex adaptive systems. To achieve adaptation to the exterior environment, Learning Cellular Automata (LCA) have been proposed as an extension of traditional CA, which exhibit only local adaptation, in order to allow a global adaptation of the automaton to its environment. In this paper, a new variant of LCA is described. It relies on two main ideas: The first one is to enhance the learning capabilities of the cellular automaton by using new operations inspired from the Reynolds’s Boids model and the second one is to foster diversity of cells' states within the cellular automaton by adopting a quantum representation of the CA cells. Through solving the Travelling Salesman Problem, we show the effectiveness of the proposed model in implementing a LCA. Therefore a better simulation of complex adaptive systems can be envisaged.

Hidden Order: How Adaptation Builds Complexity.

TL;DR: All of these existing systems are computationally expensive and deliver little in the way of important emergent phenomena in relation to the amount of computational effort expended; it may actually preclude emergence of important phenomena that can only materialize in the presence of certain minimum amounts of time or matter.

Studying artificial life with cellular automata

TL;DR: It is suggested that since virtual automata have the computational capacity to fill many of the functional roles played by the primary biomolecules, there is a strong possibility that the ‘molecular logic’ of life can be embedded within cellular automata and that, therefore, artificial life is a distinct possibility within these highly parallel computer structures.
