Recent research in quantum computing has gained significant momentum, promising transformative advances across various fields, including artificial intelligence (AI). This paper focuses on quantum reinforcement learning (QRL), which utilizes quantum neural network (QNN) to address the inherent chal-lenges in conventional reinforcement learning (RL) frameworks. For a comprehensive examination of QRL, in this paper, the structure of QNN is explored in-depth, including the functional roles of key quantum circuit gates such as the unitary, rotation, controlled-X, and Hadamard gates. This paper also discusses the primary components of QNN, namely state encoding, parameterized quantum circuits (PQC), and measurement processes. Furthermore, the application of IBM qiskit for the visualization of quantum states and circuits is highlighted, providing practical insights into the deployment of quantum principles in RL. Consequently, this paper encapsulates the potential of QRL to revolutionize AI, positioning it as a pivotal area of future research and development in quantum computing.
