AbstractQuantum computers have the potential to transform critical sectors such as drug discovery, materials engineering, logistics, and energy infrastructure by solving complex decision-making and resource allocation problems, commonly known as optimization problems, that challenge even the most powerful classical supercomputers. Nations worldwide are investing heavily in the development of large-scale quantum systems capable of running increasingly sophisticated programs. However, realizing practical
