Quantum Phenomena Modeled by Interactions between Many Classical Worlds

Michael J. W. Hall, Dirk-André Deckert, Howard M. Wiseman

Researchers propose a new ``many-interacting-worlds'' theory that could explain quantum mechanics in all its strangeness. Numerical simulations reproduce wave behavior in double-slit experiments assuming as few as 40 worlds.

Quantum Reinforcement Learning with Quantum World Model

Peigen Zeng, Ying He, Fei Richard Yu +1 more

Quantum reinforcement learning (QRL) can outperform classical reinforcement learning (RL) by utilizing quantum parallel theory and quantum phenomena such as superposition and entanglement. Although some excellent work has been done on QRL, most existing works either fail to show the exponential advantage of quantum computation over classical computation in terms of performance or are too demanding on quantum devices. In this paper, we provide a novel perspective on combining quantum computing and RL with faster convergence speed and relatively relaxed demands on quantum devices. Specifically, we propose a method to construct a world model with quantum circuit that allows it to interact in a quantum way. In addition, we use Grover's algorithm to efficiently extract high-value information from the quantum world model. Extensive simulation results show that the proposed method can have superior performance compared to classical RL algorithms.

A Quantum Temporal Difference Learning Method Based on Quantum World Model

Peigen Zeng, Ying He, Fei Richard Yu +1 more

Based on quantum parallelism theory and quantum phenomena such as superposition and entanglement, quantum reinforcement learning (QRL) has the potential to surpass classical reinforcement learning (RL). Although some excellent works have been done on QRL, existing RL methods encounter chanllenges when performing in environments with sparse rewards. In this paper, we provide a new perspective on conducting temporal difference (TD) learning in quantum computing, which can eliminate redundant exploration steps compared to classical methods. Specifically, we first use environment information to construct a world model with quantum circuits, enabling it to interact in a quantum way. Then, we perform the learning process by using the quantum world model and Grover’s algorithm to query backwards how to reach the recorded states with high TD-errors. Simulation results show that our proposed method has superior performance compared to classical RL algorithms.
