    Keywords : Quantum computing; Finance; Financial applications; Mean-variance optimization; Zero-one quadratic programming; Quantum computing in finance;

    Abstract : Many important tasks in finance often rely on complex and time-consuming computations. The rapid development of quantum technology has raised the question of whether quantum computing can be used to solve these tasks more efficiently than classical computing. READ MORE

  2. 2. Comparing Quantum Annealing and Simulated Annealing when Solving the Graph Coloring Problem

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Nora Odelius; Isak Reinholdsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Quantum Computing; Quantum Annealing; Simulated Annealing; Graph Coloring Problem; Kvantberäkningar; Quantum Annealing; Simulated Annealing; Graffärgningsproblemet;

    Abstract : Quantum annealing (QA) is an optimization process in quantum computing similar to the probabilistic metaheuristic simulated annealing (SA). The QA process involves encoding an optimization problem into an energy landscape, which it then traverses in search for the point of minimal energy representing the global optimal state. READ MORE

  3. 3. Quantum Algorithms for Feature Selection and Compressed Feature Representation of Data

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : William Laius Lundgren; [2023]
    Keywords : Feature selection; autoencoders; quantum machine learning; quantum circuits; quantum annealing; Funktionsval; datakompression; kvantmaskininlärning; kvantalgoritmer; kvantkretsar;

    Abstract : Quantum computing has emerged as a new field that may have the potential to revolutionize the landscape of information processing and computational power, although physically constructing quantum hardware has proven difficult,and quantum computers in the current Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) era are error prone and limited in the number of qubits they contain.A sub-field within quantum algorithms research which holds potential for the NISQ era, and which has seen increasing activity in recent years, is quantum machine learning, where researchers apply approaches from classical machine learning to quantum computing algorithms and explore the interplay between the two.
