arXiv:2507. 22854v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose novel classical and quantum online algorithms for learning finite- and infinite-horizon Markov Decision Processes (MDPs).
arXiv:2507. 18606v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) provides a principled framework for decision-making in partially observable environments, which can be modeled as Markov decision processes and compactly represented through dynamic decision Bayesian networks.
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.
arXiv:2607. 01197v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantum computing has emerged as a promising computational paradigm for machine learning (ML), with the potential to offer computational advantages over classical approaches.
arXiv:2607. 01080v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We investigate Gaussian process (GP) bandit optimization with quantum kernels, assuming the mean reward function lies in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) induced by the quantum kernel.
Quantum Tiq‑Taq‑Toe is a popular benchmark for quantum computing and machine learning, yet no reinforcement learning (RL) methods have been applied to it. The paper introduces RL techniques for this game, which is simpler than Quantum Chess but still challenging due to partial observability and exponential state complexity. States are represented by a 3×3 measurement matrix and a 9×9 move‑history matrix of entanglement relations, making strategy development difficult because each move can collapse the quantum state.
