Summary

Message-passing reinforcement learning scheduled simultaneous entanglement requests across tested network topologies.

The authors formulated simultaneous quantum-network requests as a Markov decision process and trained graph-based double deep-Q policies. On tested physically relevant topologies, the learned policies maintained 100% success at link-activation probabilities up to 71% lower than heuristic baselines. With hardware-placement restrictions, they retained at least 80% success at probabilities up to 59% lower. These are modeled network results, not deployed quantum-internet measurements.
