abstract = "Spector et al. have shown [1],[2],[3] that genetic
programming can be used to evolve quantum circuits. In
this paper, we present new results in this field,
introducing probabilistic and deterministic quantum
circuits that have not been previously published. We
compare our techniques with those of Spector et al, and
point out some differences in perspective between our
two approaches. Finally, we show how, by using sets of
functions rather than precise quantum states as fitness
cases, our basic technique can be extended to evolve
true quantum algorithms.",
