Researchers have developed a hybrid hierarchical reinforcement learning agent that integrates variational quantum circuits into its architecture. This approach substitutes classical components with quantum circuits for tasks like feature extraction and policy estimation. Evaluations indicate that the quantum feature extractor can enhance performance while significantly reducing the number of trainable parameters, though quantum option-value estimation presents an architectural challenge.
