Reinforcement learning based multi-tenant secret-key assignment for quantum key distribution networks

• We propose a reinforcement learning based online multi-tenant secret-key assignment algorithm for quantum key distribution networks, capable of reducing tenant-request blocking probability more than half compared to the benchmark heuristics.
