In this paper, a quantum-PSO algorithm (QPSO) based on quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithm (QEA) was proposed for the no-wait flow shop scheduling problem with makespan criterion. Based on adopting quantum angle to encode the quantum chromosomes, the individuals and group's optimal information carried by particles were used to guide the update of quantum rotation gate to simplify operation and...
