arXiv:2605.20222v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Contextual combinatorial optimization (CCO) plays a critical role in decision-making under uncertainty, yet remains a significant challenge. We present Quantum End-to-End Learning (QEL), the first quantum computing-based end-to-end learning framework for CCO that leverages Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithms. Inspired by the integration of state preparation and evolution in data re-uploading, we propose a context re-uploading phase-separator that jointly captures the complex relations among contexts, uncertain coefficients, and optimal
