Mapping the Quantum Advantage

A reinforcement learning protocol iteratively refines quantum circuits, selecting gates via Q-learning to drive the system towards states that violate a specified entropy inequality, with reward signals computed based on entropy vector dynamics and used to update the Q-table until the violation condition is met-effectively demonstrating a method for actively engineering quantum states with targeted entropy characteristics.

A new machine learning framework reveals the complex relationships between quantum entanglement, magic, and fundamental entropy constraints.
