Quantum Subgradient Estimation for Conditional Value-at-Risk Optimization
Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) is a leading tail-risk measure in finance, central to both regulatory and portfolio optimization frameworks. Classical estimation of CVaR and its gradients relies on Monte Carlo simulation, incurring $O(1/ε^2)$ sample complexity to achieve $ε$-accuracy. In this work, we design and analyze a quantum subgradient oracle for CVaR minimization based on amplitude estimation. Via a tripartite proposition, we show that CVaR subgradients can be estimated with $O(1/ε)$…

Donald Trump has pardoned the former Tennessee House speaker and his former top aide in the state legislature

A supercharacter analog of vanishing-off subgroups and generalized Camina pair
Vanishing-off subgroups, generalized Camina pair and other related subgroups have played a significant role in the study of group structure. The primary goal of this paper is to study their analogs in the setting of supercharacter theory. We establish several properties of these subgroups which includes connections with supercharacter theory products.
