An Irreducible Quantum Advantage in Aligning World Models with Reality

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2608.19779v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: World models provide digital simulacra of the true world, allowing agents to be trained and tested before costly real-world deployment. At each time step, they receive an action and generate an observation and reward matching the statistics of the true world. In complex environments where present outcomes depend on events far in the past, this requires memory. One might expect that, by increasing memory, we can always build a model accurately enough to align the optimal agent policies of the real and virtual worlds. We show that this is false for classical world models, even when the true world itself is classical. We construct true worlds for which every finite classical model fails along the same possible trajectory: it either los
