The "hybrid agent for quantum-accessible reinforcement learning", as defined in (Hamann and W\"olk, 2022), provides a proven quasi-quadratic speedup and is experimentally tested. However, the standard version can only be applied to episodic…

Simple stochastic games can be solved by value iteration (VI), which yields a sequence of under-approximations of the value of the game. This sequence is guaranteed to converge to the value only in the limit. Since no stopping criterion is…
