This disclosure provides a node grouping method and apparatus and an electronic device, and relates to the field of evolutionary computing in quantum computing. The method includes: obtaining a graph of to-be-grouped nodes, wherein the graph of to-be-grouped nodes includes M first nodes; constructing a QAOA (quantum approximate optimization algorithm) node circuit graph based on the graph of to-be-grouped nodes, the node circuit graph including K nodes which including the M first nodes; generating a quantum entangled state of the node circuit graph that includes target quantum states of the K nodes in the node circuit graph; performing a group measurement on each of the K nodes sequentially based on the target quantum states of the K nodes to obtain a target group measurement result of the M first nodes; determining a grouping output result of the M first nodes based on the target group measurement result.
