Optimality-Preserving Decomposition for Scalable QAOA in Natural-Language-Guided Multi-Drone Assignment (opens in new tab)

As multi-drone fleets scale, zone assignment rapidly evolves into an intractable NP-hard combinatorial problem that overwhelms classical exhaustive search. While quantum optimization promises to shatter these classical bottlenecks, mapping complex spatial tasks from human intent to restricted quantum hardware remains a severe challenge. To bridge this gap, we present an end-to-end framework integrating a fine-tuned Large Language Model (LLM) fro...
