• Authors: Samuel Yen-Chi Chen
• Abstract summary: Reinforcement learning (RL) is one of the machine learning (ML) paradigms which can be used to solve complex sequential decision making problems. We build a quantum long short-term memory (QLSTM) to be the core of the QRL agent and train the whole model with deep $Q$-learning. We demonstrate the results via numerical simulations that the QLSTM-DRQN can solve standard benchmark such as Cart-Pole with more stable and higher average scores than classical DRQN.

• Abstract: Recent advances in quantum computing (QC) and machine learning (ML) have drawn significant attention to the development of quantum machine learning (QML). Reinforcement learning (RL) is one of the ML paradigms which can be used to solve complex sequential decision making problems. Classical RL has been shown to be capable to solve various challenging tasks. However, RL algorithms in the quantum world are still in their infancy. One of the challenges yet to solve is how to train quantum RL in the partially observable environments. In this paper, we approach this challenge through building QRL agents with quantum recurrent neural networks (QRNN). Specifically, we choose the quantum long short-term memory (QLSTM) to be the core of the QRL agent and train the whole model with deep $Q$-learning. We demonstrate the results via numerical simulations that the QLSTM-DRQN can solve standard benchmark such as Cart-Pole with more stable and higher average scores than classical DRQN with similar architecture and number of model parameters.

Although showing promising results, VQCs can be hard to train because of different issues, e.g., barren plateau, periodicity of the weights, or choice of architecture. We propose a gradient-free algorithm inspired by natural evolution to optimize both the weights and the architecture of the VQC.
