Testing a Quantum Computer
The problem of quantum test is formally addressed. The presented method
attempts the quantum role of classical test generation and test set reduction
methods known from standard binary and analog circuits. QuFault, the authors
software package generates test plans for arbitrary quantum circuits using the
very efficient simulator QuIDDPro[1]. The quantum fault table is introduced and
mathematically formalized, and the test generation method explained.Comment: 15 pages, 17 equations, 27 tables, 8 figure
Safety-Aware Apprenticeship Learning
Apprenticeship learning (AL) is a kind of Learning from Demonstration
techniques where the reward function of a Markov Decision Process (MDP) is
unknown to the learning agent and the agent has to derive a good policy by
observing an expert's demonstrations. In this paper, we study the problem of
how to make AL algorithms inherently safe while still meeting its learning
objective. We consider a setting where the unknown reward function is assumed
to be a linear combination of a set of state features, and the safety property
is specified in Probabilistic Computation Tree Logic (PCTL). By embedding
probabilistic model checking inside AL, we propose a novel
counterexample-guided approach that can ensure safety while retaining
performance of the learnt policy. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our
approach on several challenging AL scenarios where safety is essential.Comment: Accepted by International Conference on Computer Aided Verification
