Abstract: A physical agent must interact with its environment using actuators (to act on the environment) and sensors (to read the environment). In this article, the authors show that an optical agent which interacts with its environment using quantum mechanical actuators and sensors can experience a dramatic enhancement in its ability to learn its environment, and they study the thermodynamic properties of learning in such a physical agent.
