Quantum Resource Allocation with Deep Reinforcement Learning

Abstract

This paper explores the application of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) for optimizing quantum resource allocation in quantum computing. Traditional quantum resource allocation often relies on manual design and expert knowledge, which can be computationally expensive and limit scalability. We propose a novel framework utilizing DRL to automate this process, learning optimal strategies for allocating quantum resources (qubits, gates, and time) to maximize the performance of quantum algorithms. The core of our approach involves constructing a DRL model where the agent learns to make decisions regarding resource allocation based on the current state of the quantum system and the desired algorithm outcome. We define a state space representing the quantum system's configuration, action space encompassing various resource allocation options, and a reward function that reflects the algorithm's success. Through this framework, we aim to significantly enhance the efficiency and performance of quantum computations. This work presents a foundational approach, paving the way for more sophisticated DRL-based quantum resource allocation strategies.
