Abstract:
In this study, designed a O(n2log2n) quantum mechanical algorithm, to solve the 0-1-knapsack problem on a hypothetical quantum computer. Used the special characteristics of the quantum environment, constantly divided the state of vector space, reduced the probability of state vector which don meet the conditions of magnitude, increased the probability amplitude to meet the conditions, find a larger probability of obtaining the solution. Owing to the problem of solving the time complexity by traditional exponential is too complicated, turned it into the other problem which is relatively easy, then solving polynomial time wih quantum computer, which can Reduce the difficulty of solving the problem. Analysised of the complexity of the algorithm and implementation results showed that the designed algorithm is effective and feasible. This algorithm can be extended to solve other NPC problems, such as TSP problem.

Key words:  NPC problem, quantum algorithm, quantum computing, 0-1-kiapsack problem, , ,
