Routing, Graph Shrinking, and Logistics under Hardware Constraints
Uses routing, RL-tuned augmented Lagrangian methods, and graph shrinking to show how classical intelligence creates viable interfaces to limited quantum hardware.
- Routing overhead can erase theoretical algorithmic gains if ignored.
- Classical learning can reshape the optimization landscape before quantum execution.
- Graph shrinking and reformulation are practical compression strategies for limited qubit budgets.
