New lower bounds established for quantum bandit algorithms

Researchers have established new minimax lower bounds for quantum multi-armed bandits (QMAB) and quantum linear bandits (QLB), improving upon prior work. The study proves lower bounds of $\Omega(K\log(T/K))$ for QMAB with $K$ arms over horizon $T$, and $\Omega(d\log(T/d))$ for $d$-dimensional QLB. These findings resolve questions about achieving regret independent of $T$ and reducing the dimension dependence in QLB. Complementing these theoretical results, an algorithm is presented for finite-action QLB that achieves linear dependence on $d$ for regret, an improvement over the previous $d^2$ complexity. AI

    Quantum Multi-Armed Bandits and Linear Bandits: Lower Bounds and Algorithms

    arXiv:2608.14319v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study quantum multi-armed bandits (QMAB) and quantum linear bandits (QLB) in the model of Wan et al. [2023], where the learner queries each arm or action through a quantum reward oracle or its inverse. Prior work gives algorithms…
