Abstract

This chapter unites quantum mechanics with decision-making through an exciting journey through quantum reinforcement learning (QRL). It addresses fundamental RL principles and issues by severing the links between QRL and conventional reinforcement learning. The groundwork for quantum robotics and lights, where quantum organisms explore quantum environments and discover new frontiers, is laid via a quantum mechanics primer.

By combining quantum annealing, search methods, and parallelism, QRL provides a novel remedy for the drawbacks of RL. It goes beyond traditional simulations and explores uncharted areas such as quantum ...

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
