Summary

FOLD optimized short-lived entanglement resources instead of accumulating pair rates over time.

On tractable one-shot quantum-routing instances, FOLD recovered almost all optimal fidelity and ran four orders of magnitude faster than exact schedule enumeration at circuit rank five. It also led polynomial baselines on tested Internet topologies where routing could help.

Why it matters

FOLD optimized short-lived entanglement resources instead of accumulating pair rates over time.

Limits and context

No additional limitation was separately recorded.
