Reinforcement Learning based Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm for Vehicle Routing Problem.

Md. Aqib Aman, Fardin Azam Sakib

Reinforcement Learning–based Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA-RL) is used to solve the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) by transforming it into a Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) form. The RL agent learns to optimize QAOA parameters for better route selection. Results show that QAOA-RL achieves a lower total cost compared to exact ILP and heuristic Greedy Search methods. Although the training time is higher, the solution quality improves significantly for larger problem sizes. This study highlights QAOA-RL as a scalable and promising hybrid quantum–classical approach for real-world logistics optimization.
