Towards Surrogate Based Dequantization of Quantum Reinforcement Learning
Read the original on arXiv Machine 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.
