# 🔄 Quantum Reinforcement Learning (QRL) Papers

This section of the **Quantum AI Papers** repository focuses on **Quantum Reinforcement Learning (QRL)**.  
QTL leverages knowledge from pre-trained quantum or hybrid quantum-classical models and adapts it to new tasks or domains. This paradigm plays a crucial role in overcoming limitations of small datasets, reducing training costs, and accelerating the deployment of quantum-enhanced AI systems.

## 📚 Scope
Research papers in this category explore:
- Transfer of learned quantum circuit parameters between tasks  
- Hybrid classical–quantum transfer learning frameworks  
- Applications of QTL in physics, chemistry, medical imaging, and natural language processing  
- Optimization strategies to mitigate issues such as barren plateaus  
- Cross-domain transfer of quantum models for practical real-world problems
