Q-Edge: Symmetry-Reduced Quantum Simulation of Structured Extreme Dependence

The paper introduces Q-Edge, a quantum framework that leverages symmetry to reduce the complexity of simulating high‑dimensional extreme events. By representing dependence in orbit space, the method collapses millions of angular states into a few symmetry classes, cutting the required qubits from about 21 to 8 for a 30‑dimensional problem. This symmetry‑reduced approach enables scalable simulation and digital twins of structured extreme systems.

Towards Surrogate Based Dequantization of Quantum Reinforcement Learning

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.
