用量子硬件实现可复用的信念更新,让机器人在部分可观测环境下稳定决策。
QANTIS: Hardware-Calibrated Sequential POMDP Belief Updates on IBM Heron
- 将量子处理器作为校准后的信念更新服务,支持序列决策
- 8~32步运行中,硬件后验与贝叶斯真值选择相同动作
- 提出边界感知算法,稳定极小事件概率估计
部分可观测环境中的自主系统依赖信念而非原始传感信号进行决策。本文提出QANTIS,将量子处理器作为校准后的信念更新服务:接收先验和观测模型,估计罕见事件证据项,并向经典规划器返回普通后验。研究在现有IBM Heron硬件上,检验该服务能否在连续8~32步的Tiger POMDP任务中重复使用而不污染规划器面对的后验分布。通过对比无增强、受控格罗弗放大与全步固定点放大,在同一轨迹上验证后验是否影响下游动作。结果显示,全步固定点放大(FPAA)在8步和12步主实验中保持了原版Tiger后验,20步和32步对照实验也维持在相同操作区间内。所有决策检查中,硬件后验与精确贝叶斯后验均选择相同即时动作。边界感知BIQAE在接近0和1处稳定幅度估计,稀有事件扫描揭示了百万分之一证据的逻辑样本复杂度范围。最终建立了一个硬件校准的信念更新原语的操作区间,而非独立硬件优势声明。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Autonomous systems under partial observability act on beliefs, not raw sensor events. QANTIS treats the quantum processor as a calibrated belief-update service in that loop: it receives a prior and an observation model, estimates the rare-event evidence term, and returns an ordinary posterior to a classical planner. This paper asks whether that service can be reused across a sequential Tiger POMDP horizon on present IBM Heron hardware without corrupting the planner-facing posterior. We answer with a controlled hardware case study rather than an end-to-end autonomy or wall-clock speedup claim. The study compares no amplification, guarded Grover amplification, and all-step fixed-point amplification on the same trajectory, then checks whether the returned posterior would change the downstream action. All-step FPAA preserves the Tiger posterior across the reported 8-step and 12-step primary runs, and the 20-step and 32-step controls remain inside the same operating band. In every reported decision check, the hardware posterior and the exact Bayes posterior select the same immediate action. Boundary-aware BIQAE stabilizes amplitude estimation near zero and near one, while a rare-event sweep maps the logical sample-complexity envelope for one-in-a-million evidence. The result is an operating envelope for a hardware-calibrated belief-update primitive, not a standalone hardware-advantage claim.
