Our latest paper (3 of 3): Portfolio Optimization of 3,171 Stocks
Authors: Jeffrey Cohen & Clark Alexander
Date: October 30, 2020
Date: October 30, 2020
Abstract: We analyze 3,171 US common stocks to create an efficient portfolio based on the Chicago Quantum Net Score (CQNS) and portfolio optimization. We begin with classical solvers and incorporate quantum annealing. We add a simulated bifurcator as a new classical solver and the new D-Wave Advantage(TM) quantum annealing computer as our new quantum solver.

Our 2nd paper (2 of 3): Portfolio Optimization of 60 Stocks
Authors: Jeffrey Cohen, Alex Khan, Clark Alexander
Date: August 19, 2020
Abstract: We continue to investigate the use of quantum computers for building an optimal portfolio out of a universe of 60 U.S. listed, liquid equities. Starting from historical market data, we apply our unique problem formulation on the D-Wave Systems Inc. D-Wave 2000Q (TM) quantum annealing system (hereafter called D-Wave) to find the optimal risk vs return portfolio. We approach this first classically, then using the D-Wave, to select efficient buy and hold portfolios. Our results show that practitioners can use either classical or quantum annealing methods to select attractive portfolios. This builds upon our prior work on optimization of 40 stocks.

Our 1st paper (1 of 3): Portfolio Optimization of 40 Stocks
Authors: Jeffrey Cohen, Alex Khan, Clark Alexander
Date: July 6, 2020
Abstract: We investigate the use of quantum computers for building a portfolio out of a universe of U.S. listed, liquid equities that contains an optimal set of stocks. Starting from historical market data, we look at various problem formulations on the D-Wave Systems Inc. D-Wave 2000Q(TM) System (hereafter called D-Wave) to find the optimal risk vs return portfolio; an optimized portfolio based on the Markowitz formulation and the Sharpe ratio, a simplified Chicago Quantum Ratio (CQR), then a new Chicago Quantum Net Score (CQNS). We approach this first classically, then by our new method on D-Wave. Our results show that practitioners can use a D-Wave to select attractive portfolios out of 40 U.S. liquid equities.
