Quantum reinforcement learning is an emerging field at the intersection of quantum computing and machine learning. While we intend to provide a broad overview of the literature on quantum reinforcement learning - our interpretation of this term will be clarified below - we put particular emphasis on recent developments. With a focus on already available noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices, these include variational quantum circuits acting as function approximators in an otherwise classical reinforcement learning setting. In addition, we survey quantum reinforcement learning algorithms based on future fault-tolerant hardware, some of which come with a provable quantum advantage. We provide both a birds-eye-view of the field, as well as summaries and reviews for selected parts of the literature.

  1. Complexity scaling and optimal policy degeneracy in quantum reinforcement learning via analytically solvable unitary-control-then-measure models

    math.GM 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Unitary-control-then-measure QRL models admit closed-form returns whose complexity drops from exponential to power-law in horizon N, with Zeno-driven unique optima or discrete/plateau degeneracies depending on dimension.

  2. Quantum Algorithms for Bandits with Knapsacks with Improved Regret and Time Complexities

    quant-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Quantum algorithms for bandits with knapsacks achieve improved regret and time complexity by replacing classical sampling with quantum Monte Carlo and approximate quantum LP solving.

  3. Quantum AIXI: Universal Intelligence via Quantum Information

    quant-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper introduces Quantum AIXI, a channel-based formulation of universal intelligence over quantum environments, and argues that contextuality, measurement back-action, and no-cloning fundamentally limit any such agent.

  4. Benchmarking Quantum Reinforcement Learning

    quant-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A gridworld benchmark shows amplitude-amplification QRL outperforms PQC and free-energy QRL on cost and clock time, while entanglement and replica-count ablations find little evidence that current QRL performance depe...

    QSNN agent in Q-SpiRL framework achieves up to 99% success rate with efficient paths in 20x20 to 40x40 grid worlds with static and dynamic obstacles, outperforming tabular Q-learning, MLP, SNN, and QMLP baselines unde...

  6. Quantum Reinforcement Learning by Adaptive Non-local Observables

    quant-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Adaptive non-local observables, jointly trained with variational circuit parameters, improve DQN and A3C reinforcement learning agents on simulated benchmark tasks relative to fixed Pauli-measurement baselines.

  7. Quantum computing and artificial intelligence: status and perspectives

    quant-ph 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    A broad expert white paper sets a European research agenda for combining quantum computing and AI, spanning quantum machine learning, AI-driven quantum control, and foundational questions.
