Determine the optimal dimension dependence for general-action quantum linear bandits
Determine the optimal dependence on the dimension \(d\) of regret for quantum linear bandits with general, potentially infinite, action sets, between the known \(\Omega(d\log(T/d))\) lower bound and the \(O(d^{3/2}\,\mathrm{polylog}\,T)\) upper bound.
References
For general action sets, the optimal dimension dependence is unresolved. The upper bounds are O(d2\,\mathrm{polylog}\,T) from \citet{wan2023quantum} and O(d{3/2}\,\mathrm{polylog}\,T) from a linear-kernel specialization of the analysis of \citet{hikima2024quantum} (see Appendix~\ref{app:hikima-linear}), while our lower bound is \Omega(d\log(T/d)).
