Quantum Multi-Armed Bandits and Linear Bandits: Lower Bounds and Algorithms
We study quantum multi-armed bandits (QMAB) and quantum linear bandits (QLB), where the learner queries each arm or action through a quantum reward oracle or its inverse. Prior work gives algorithms over horizon $T$ with regret $O(K\log T)$ for QMAB with $K$ arms and $O(d^2\operatorname{polylog} T)$ for $d$-dimensional...
