<p>This research introduces the Quantum Chimp Optimization Algorithm (QChOA), a pioneering methodology that integrates quantum mechanics principles into the Chimp Optimization Algorithm (ChOA).

A distinctive feature of the QChOA is its ability to displace a ’chimp,’ representing a potential solution, leading to heightened fitness levels compared to the current top search agent. Our comprehensive evaluation includes twenty- nine standard optimization test functions, thirty CEC-BC functions, the CEC06 test suite, ten real-world engineering challenges, and the IEEE CEC 2022 competition’s dynamic optimization problems. Comparative analyses involve four ChOA variants, three leading quantum-behaved algorithms, three state-ofthe-art algorithms, and eighteen benchmarks. Employing three non-parametric statistical tests (Wilcoxon rank-sum, Holm-Bonferroni, and Friedman average rank tests), results show that the QChOA outperforms counterparts in 51 out of 70 scenarios, exhibiting performance on par with SHADE and CMA-ES, and statistical equivalence to jDE100 and DISHchain1e+12. The study underscores the QChOA’s reliability and adaptability, positioning it as a valuable technique for diverse and intricate optimization challenges in the field.</p>
