Projected Inverse Iteration: An Eigenvalue Approach to Ground-State Computation with Neural Quantum States

Hang Zhang, Victor Armegioiu, Juan Carrasquilla +4

Deep learning offers a powerful approach to quantum many-body problems via neural network wavefunctions, but their optimization remains a severe bottleneck. Existing optimization m…

Optimal Rates of Convergence for Entropy Regularization in Discounted Markov Decision Processes

Johannes Müller, Semih Cayci

We study the error introduced by entropy regularization in infinite-horizon discrete discounted Markov decision processes. We show that this error decreases exponentially in the in…

Geometry and convergence of natural policy gradient methods

Johannes Müller, Guido Montúfar

We study the convergence of several natural policy gradient (NPG) methods in infinite-horizon discounted Markov decision processes with regular policy parametrizations. For a varie…

Solving infinite-horizon POMDPs with memoryless stochastic policies in state-action space

Johannes Müller, Guido Montúfar

Reward optimization in fully observable Markov decision processes is equivalent to a linear program over the polytope of state-action frequencies. Taking a similar perspective in t…

The Geometry of Memoryless Stochastic Policy Optimization in Infinite-Horizon POMDPs

Johannes Müller, Guido Montúfar

We consider the problem of finding the best memoryless stochastic policy for an infinite-horizon partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) with finite state and action s…
