A New Quantum Dempster Rule of CombinationHuaping He, Fuyuan Xiao
Dempster rule of combination (DRC) is widely used for uncertainty reasoning in intelligent information system, which is generalized to complex domain recently. However, as the increase of identification framework elements, the computational complexity of Dempster Rule of Combination increases exponentially. To address this issue, we propose a novel quantum Dempster rule of combination (QDRC) by means of Toffoli gate. The QDRC combination process is completely implemented using quantum circuits.
