Abstract
In the quest to harness the power of quantum computing, training quantum neural networks (QNNs) presents a formidable challenge. This study introduces an innovative approach, integrating the Bees Optimization Algorithm (BOA) to overcome one of the most significant hurdles-barren plateaus. Our experiments across varying qubit counts and circuit depths demonstrate the BOA's superior performance compared to the Adam algorithm. Notably, BOA achieves faster convergence, higher accuracy, and greater computational efficiency. This study confirms BOA's potential to enhance the applicability of QNNs in complex quantum computations.
