Evolutionary computation has already been known in computer science since more than 4 decades. More recently, another alternative of evolutionary algorithms was invented: quantum genetic algorithms (QGA). In this paper, we outline the approach of QGA by giving a comparison with conventional genetic algorithm (CGA). We have executed our algorithm for 100 generations. Each CA in the population was iterated over M = 150 iterations. We have compared our best fitness obtained with the best that exists in the literature. Our parallel algorithm was run on a local network of 10 sites: a master site and nine slaves. The results have shown that QGA can be a very promising tool for exploring search spaces with a high performance and efficiency.}, }
