The paper investigates whether quantum reinforcement learning algorithms can be matched by efficient classical methods. It focuses on a simplified reinforcement learning setting with a uniform generative model, providing finite‑sample guarantees for classical kernelized Fitted Q‑Iteration that uses kernels aligned with parameterized quantum circuits. The authors identify sufficient conditions on data encoding, kernel choice, and problem structure under which this classical approach dequantizes quantum Q‑learning, and suggest using kernelized Fitted Q‑Iteration as a heuristic when those conditions cannot be verified.

The paper proposes Entanglement-Weighted Pruning (EWP), a method for unlearning a client’s contribution from a federated quantum classifier without retraining from scratch. EWP scores each trainable circuit parameter by combining a Fisher‑information estimate on the target client’s data with a structural entanglement weight, pruning the lowest‑scoring parameters and optionally fine‑tuning the remaining ones. Experiments on a four‑qubit data‑re‑uploading ansatz trained with FedAvg across five simulated supply‑chain‑risk clients show that EWP achieves accuracy comparable to full retraining while reducing forgetting and wall‑clock time by about sixteenfold, outperforming random, Fisher‑only, or entanglement‑only pruning.
The paper introduces Q‑MET, a quantum‑assisted framework that uses a hybrid quantum‑classical neural network to generate parameters for Wi‑Fi‑based human activity recognition models, drastically cutting the number of trainable parameters. By combining this approach with structured pruning during training, Q‑MET achieves 90–95% fewer trainable parameters than traditional backpropagation while preserving or improving classification accuracy. The method also yields 75–85% model sparsity for lightweight inference with less than 2% accuracy loss, enabling deployment on resource‑constrained devices.
