With the advent of quantum computer, the development of quantum-inspired search algorithms and their engineering-problem applications have emerged as one of the most interesting research topics. These algorithms find optimal values with the operators such as quantum-gate by using quantum-bit superposed basically by zero and one. In this process, the balance between the two features of exploration and exploitation can be kept easily. So, this paper is to propose an optimum design program for plane truss structures based on quantum-inspired evolution algorithm. The objective function consists of the weight of the structures, and the design variables are the cross-section areas. 10 bar plane truss model is adopted as numerical example.
