Summary

Reinforcement-learning schedulers served more requests in simulation while consuming more Bell pairs.

Dynamic quantum networks must schedule purification across shared links and memories. Simulated RL schedulers improved request success over a mixed-integer program by up to 6 percent and over two heuristics by 16.5 and 19.5 percent, while using more Bell pairs and deferring some traffic. The optimization remains a network simulation study.

Why it matters

Reinforcement-learning schedulers served more requests in simulation while consuming more Bell pairs.
