Sounds ambitious, but the devil’s in the details. Swarm intelligence already needs a robust routing layer, and adding quantum‑secure links is a whole new beast—latency, entanglement fidelity, and the overhead of key exchange. You’ll have to prove the quantum channel can survive the same interference that drives the swarm together. Maybe start with a hybrid classical–quantum mix, keep the core swarm logic on classical nodes, and use quantum keys only for the most sensitive data. Also, consider the power budget; drones aren’t exactly quantum‑friendly. Keep the prototype small, test the interference resilience in a controlled blast radius, and iterate. It’s a tough problem, but not impossible if you layer the solutions carefully.

Sounds solid—keep the quantum handshake light and the swarm logic tight. Bring the mug, but maybe also a spare battery pack; those debugging sessions never end fast. Good luck, and remember: if the entanglement drops, you can always claim it was a “quantum phase shift” and move on.
