The paper derives an information‑theoretic bound for a shared‑state cognitive architecture that uses an auxiliary variable to mediate context. It shows that the residual dependence of observable behavior on context, given the shared state, is bounded by the information carried by the auxiliary variable and its conditional entropy. A recognition‑memory example illustrates how to compute and compare this bound across different representational choices, providing a framework for analyzing context‑memory‑control trade‑offs in cognitive models and artificial agents.

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.
