    Quantum-Enhanced Reinforcement Learning for Finite-Episode Games

    Quantum-enhanced reinforcement learning for finite-episode games with discrete state spaces 1 1 2 2 Florian Neukart∗ , David Von Dollen , Christian Seidel , and Gabriele Compostella 1Volkswagen Group of America 2Volkswagen Data:Lab Abstract Quantum annealing algorithms belong to the class of metaheuristic tools, applicable for solving binary optimization problems. Hardware implementations of quantum annealing, such as the quantum annealing machines produced by D-Wave Systems [1], have been subject to multiple analyses in research, with the aim of characterizing the technology’s usefulness for optimization and sampling tasks [2–16]. Here, we present a way to partially embed both Monte Carlo policy iteration for finding an optimal policy on random observations, as well as how to embed n sub-optimal state-value functions for approximating an improved state-value function given a policy for finite horizon games with discrete state spaces on a D-Wave 2000Q quantum processing unit (QPU). We explain how both problems can be expressed as a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem, and show that quantum-enhanced Monte Carlo policy evaluation allows for finding equivalent or better state-value functions for a given policy with the same number episodes compared to a purely classical Monte Carlo algorithm. Additionally, we describe a quantum-classical policy learning algorithm. Our first and foremost aim is to explain how to represent and solve parts of these problems with the help of the QPU, and not to prove supremacy over every existing classical policy evaluation algorithm. arXiv:1708.09354v3 [quant-ph] 15 Sep 2017 ∗Corresponding author: [email protected] 1 1 Introduction The physical implementation of quantum annealing that is used by the D-Wave machine minimizes the two-dimensional Ising Hamiltonian, defined by the operator H: H(s) = hisi + Jijsisj.

  • The Transverse-Field Ising Spin Glass Model on the Bethe Lattice

    The Transverse-Field Ising Spin Glass Model on the Bethe Lattice

    Statistical Physics SISSA { International School for Advanced Studies The Transverse-Field Ising Spin Glass Model on the Bethe Lattice with an Application to Adiabatic Quantum Computing Gianni Mossi Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 4 October 2017 Advisor: Antonello Scardicchio ii Abstract In this Ph.D. thesis we examine the Adiabatic Quantum Algorithm from the point of view of statistical and condensed matter physics. We do this by studying the transverse-field Ising spin glass model defined on the Bethe lattice, which is of independent interest to both the physics community and the quantum computation community. Using quantum Monte Carlo methods, we perform an extensive study of the the ground-state properties of the model, including the R´enyi entanglement entropy, quantum Fisher information, Edwards{Anderson parameter, correlation functions. Through the finite-size scaling of these quantities we find multiple indepen- dent and coinciding estimates for the critical point of the glassy phase transition at zero temperature, which completes the phase diagram of the model as was previously known in the literature. We find volumetric bipartite and finite mul- tipartite entanglement for all values of the transverse field considered, both in the paramagnetic and in the glassy phase, and at criticality. We discuss their implication with respect to quantum computing. By writing a perturbative expansion in the large transverse field regime we develop a mean-field quasiparticle theory that explains the numerical data. The emerging picture is that of degenerate bands of localized quasiparticle excita- tions on top of a vacuum. The perturbative energy corrections to these bands are given by pair creation/annihilation and hopping processes of the quasipar- ticles on the Bethe lattice.

  • Performance Analysis of a Hybrid Agent for Quantum-Accessible Reinforcement Learning

    Performance Analysis of a Hybrid Agent for Quantum-Accessible Reinforcement Learning

    Performance analysis of a hybrid agent for quantum-accessible reinforcement learning Arne Hamann1 and Sabine W¨olk1, 2 1Institut f¨urTheoretische Physik, Universit¨atInnsbruck, Technikerstraße 21a, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria 2Institute of Quantum Technologies, German Aerospace Center (DLR), D-89077 Ulm, Germany (Dated: July 30, 2021) In the last decade quantum machine learning has provided fascinating and fundamental improve- ments to supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning. In reinforcement learning, a so-called agent is challenged to solve a task given by some environment. The agent learns to solve the task by exploring the environment and exploiting the rewards it gets from the environment. For some classical task environments, such as deterministic strictly epochal environments, an analogue quan- tum environment can be constructed which allows to find rewards quadratically faster by applying quantum algorithms. In this paper, we analytically analyze the behavior of a hybrid agent which combines this quadratic speedup in exploration with the policy update of a classical agent. This leads to a faster learning of the hybrid agent compared to the classical agent. We demonstrate that if the classical agent needs on average hJi rewards and hT ic epochs to learn how to solve the p task, the hybrid agent will take hT iq ≤ α hT ichJi epochs on average. Here, α denotes a constant which is independent of the problem size. Additionally, we prove that if the environment allows for maximally αokmax sequential coherent interactions, e.g. due to noise effects, an improvement given by hT iq ≈ αohT ic=4kmax is still possible. I. INTRODUCTION able epochal length [23] also exist and for specific en- vironments super-polynomial and exponential improve- The application of quantum algorithms to machine ments have been demonstrated [24].
