Qubit-to-Motion: Traceable Action Provenance in Hybrid QRL for Robotic Bin-Packing Sequencing

Qubit-to-Motion: Traceable Action Provenance in Hybrid QRL for Robotic Bin-Packing Sequencing

Summary

This research introduces Qubit-to-Motion, an evidence-centered framework that links quantum circuit outputs to constrained robotic actions in bin-packing tasks. The system uses four Pauli-Z readouts as input to actor and critic networks, enforces admissible object selection via a support mask, and records each decision with step indices and SHA-256 fingerprints tied to deterministic waypoints and MuJoCo contact replays. Evaluated across five 30-object scene variants, all 150 placements met support, containment, and settling criteria. A fixed-state zero-readout intervention altered 90.0% of decisions, confirming dependence on the joint circuit representation. Mean macro travel was 34.537 m, inference took 8.60 ms per route, and replay achieved a mean final position error of 8.764 μm with a maximum interpenetration of 0.356 mm. The implementation is available via an anonymous repository.

Editorial context

The study presents a hybrid quantum reinforcement learning framework for robotic bin-packing, demonstrating traceable action provenance through deterministic evaluations on simulated scenes.
