PROJECTS
A quantum algorithm for the sensitivity analysis of business risks
We present a novel use case for quantum computation: the sensitivity analysis for a risk model used at Deutsche Börse Group. Such an analysis is computationally too expensive to perform on classical computers.
Whitepaper: Quantum computing for finance
Whitepaper about quantum computing in finance together with our partners from NTT, SVA and AQT.
Asset allocation & portfolio optimization
Jupyter notebook that translates the combinatorial optimization into a QUBO which can be solved by adiabatic quantum computing, gate-based algorithms and quantum-inspired algorithms. It shows how to allocate a long-short portfolio that minimizes overall risk based on covariance of assets.
DZ BANK AG TrendLab
Workshop to explore quantum computing, providing knowledge-transfer and use case identification for various applications in risk management, optimization and machine learning.
EnerQuant: Fundamental modelling in energy economics with quantum algorithms
Within this project we develop solutions for models in energy markets that consist of complex optimization problems including stochastic components. Solutions are prototyped and tested on various quantum hardware.
The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWK).
QuSAA: Quantum algorithms for strategic asset allocation
Quantum computing for strategic asset allocation. The project investigates application of quantum algorithms to achieve lower fluctuations of investment portfolios to contribute to the stabilization of companies and thus of the financial system.
The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)
ATIQ: Implementation of quantum algorithms for finance and chemistry on ion-trap based quantum computers
The goal of the joint project is to build a reliable demonstrators of Ion trap quantum computers. Our part is to develop algorithms for credit risk modelling and evaluation using Quantum Monte Carlo methods and gain insights for requirements towards quantum advantage.
The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)
