Book Description
As quantum machine learning (QML) evolves, this second edition builds upon the foundation of the first, providing a hands-on guide to applying advanced QML algorithms for finance using noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) systems. This edition introduces new chapters exploring quantum kernels, advanced optimization methods, and quantum neural networks, expanding beyond foundational algorithms like Shor's and Grover's to focus on real-world applications. Hybrid quantum-classical protocols remain a core focus, enabling readers to effectively combine the strengths of quantum and classical computing. Written by Antoine Jacquier, a leading researcher in stochastic analysis, and Oleksiy Kondratyev, a Quant of the Year awardee, this edition provides a hardware-agnostic perspective, balancing analog and digital quantum computing insights. Updated examples and case studies provide actionable insights into leveraging quantum for finance. By the end of this book, you'll have gained a solid understanding of the latest developments in quantum computing for finance, enabling you to solve complex challenges and drive innovation in your work.What you will learn
