Abstract
Based on the concept and principles of quantum computing and the principle of the immune clonal selection, a new algorithm for multi-objective 0/1 knapsack problems is introduced. In the algorithm, for the novel representation, qubit antibodies in the antibody population are updated by applying a new chaos update strategy. A quantitative metric is used for testing the convergence to the Pareto-optimal front. Simulation results on the 0/1 knapsack problems show that the new algorithm, in most cases, is more effective.
