In order to optimize the numerical functions with the continuous solution space, a new phase angle encoded quantum evolutionary algorithm(PAQEA) is proposed based on the quantum computing and real encoded evolutionary algorithm. In PAQEA, a quantum chromosome with probabilistic representation can represent all the feasible solution probabilistically, and the dynamic quantum rotation gate is used to update chromosomes. Thus, the population diversity and directional evolution realize a good balance between exploration and exploitation. Theoretical analysis shows that the PAQEA is a global convergence algorithm. Simulation results show that the algorithm is suitable for the optimization of complex numerical functions, and has the characteristics of rapider convergence, powerful global search capability and better stability.
