Abstract
In this chapter we introduce a family of algorithms whose workings draw inspiration from aspects of quantum mechanics in order to develop a series of hybrid quantum evolutionary algorithms. Initially, the chapter provides a short introduction to quantum systems and then describes the design of both hybrid binary-valued and hybrid real-valued quantum evolutionary algorithms.
