"Applying quantum computing to financial markets is the next evolution in understanding market forces."

— Dr. Brandon Mendez, Clinical Assistant Professor of Finance


750 > 500,000

Quantum algorithms, such as quantum amplitude estimation, can offer a speedups over classical Monte Carlo simulations. For instance, if a classical simulation requires 500,000 samples, the equivalent quantum algorithm may need only 750 samples. –Deloitte United States

This pioneering research project explores the integration of quantum computing in financial modeling, particularly focusing on factor analysis in equity markets. Phase 1 investigates mean reversion strategies using options as probabilistic tools, while Phase 2 analyzes the behavior of market makers and institutional liquidity flows. The project aims to use quantum computing to enhance predictive capabilities and generate alpha in financial trading.
