The authors present a framework where decentralized agents measure shared entanglement to generate correlated advice without communication. It trains measurements and local policies. In a simulated queue-routing task, entangled policies have lower excess wait than theoretical shared-randomness strategies at most tested settings; in CHSH, the worst run of 30 with entropy regularization reaches 99.90% of the maximum quantum advantage in these setups.
Key insights
- Quantum entanglement facilitates a strictly more expressive class of communication-free correlated policies than classical shared randomness, offering a path to improved coordination.
- `QuantumSoftmax` provides a technical mechanism to directly optimize quantum measurement strategies using standard deep learning techniques, bridging quantum information with reinforcement learning.
- Entropy regularization during training is crucial for guiding the learning process towards discovering and utilizing quantum-advantaged strategies, preventing convergence to classical sub-optimal solutions.
