Quantum Portfolio Optimization with Expert Analysis Evaluation
Quantum algorithms have gained increasing attention for addressing complex combinatorial problems in finance, notably portfolio optimization. This study systematically benchmarks two prominent variational quantum approaches, Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) and Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), under diverse experimental settings, including different asset universes, ansatz architectures, and circuit depths. Although both methods demonstrate effective cost function minimiz…
