Energetic Advantages for Quantum Agents in Online Execution of Complex Strategies
Author(s): Jayne Thompson, Paul M. Riechers, Andrew J. P. Garner, Thomas J. Elliott, and Mile Gu
Agents often execute complex strategies, adapting their response to each input stimulus depending on past observations and actions. Here, we derive the minimal energetic cost for classical agents to execute a given strategy, highlighting that they must dissipate a certain amount of heat with each de… [Phys. Rev.
