Description

As quantum machine learning (QML) continues to evolve, many professionals struggle to apply its powerful algorithms to real-world problems using noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) hardware. This book bridges that gap by focusing on hands-on QML applications tailored to NISQ systems, moving beyond the traditional textbook approaches that explore standard algorithms like Shor's and Grover's, which lie beyond current NISQ capabilities. You’ll get to grips with major QML algorithms that have been widely studied for their transformative potential in finance and learn hybrid quantum-classical computational protocols, the most effective way to leverage quantum and classical computing systems together. The authors, Antoine Jacquier, a distinguished researcher in quantum computing and stochastic analysis, and Oleksiy Kondratyev, a Quant of the Year awardee with over 20 years in quantitative finance, offer a hardware-agnostic perspective. They present a balanced view of both analog and digital quantum computers, delving into the fundamental characteristics of the algorithms while highlighting the practical limitations of today’s quantum hardware. By the end of this quantum book, you’ll have a deeper understanding of the significance of quantum computing in finance and the skills needed to apply QML to solve complex challenges, driving innovation in your work.

Who is this book for?

This book is for academic researchers, STEM students, finance professionals in quantitative finance, and AI/ML experts. No prior knowledge of quantum mechanics is needed. Mathematical concepts are rigorously presented, but the emphasis is on understanding the fundamental properties of models and algorithms, making them accessible to a broader audience. With its deep coverage of QML applications for solving real-world financial challenges, this guide is an essential resource for anyone interested in finance and quantum computing.

What you will learn

  • Familiarize yourself with analog and digital quantum computing principles and methods
  • Explore solutions to NP-hard combinatorial optimisation problems using quantum annealers
  • Build and train quantum neural networks for classification and market generation

The author has an incredible ability to break down complex ideas like quantum error correction, qubits, and quantum gates into bite-sized, digestible explanations. The writing flows seamlessly, with each concept building naturally on the last, so you’re never left feeling lost. Even topics I initially thought were beyond me, like how quantum computing applies to financial systems, were explained in such a clear and intuitive way that they just clicked.What impressed me most was how the book tackled advanced concepts that many shy away from. My favorite topic was training Quantum Neural Networks (QNN) with Particle Swarm Optimization. The explanation was thorough yet approachable, making a complex subject feel surprisingly manageable. Another highlight was the way the author broke down the Estimation of the Frobenius Distance on a Quantum Computer, a topic that’s kinda dense. It was explained so clearly that I came away with a solid understanding of something I never expected to grasp so well.Beyond Quantum Computing and Finance, the book also delves into Machine Learning applications and Data Encoding techniques. These sections were written in such an engaging way that they sparked genuine curiosity, making you want to explore and learn more.If you’re looking to deepen your knowledge of quantum computing and its broader applications with Machine Learning and Finance, this is the perfect resource. Highly recommended! Read more

This book is detailed and bridges foundational Machine Learning principles with latest advancements in Quantum Computing by providing Quantum Computing analogs of ML concepts. It offers a comprehensive coverage spanning from basic linear algebra to advanced topics in Quantum Computing. It incorporates practical insights of using Quantum concepts in the field of finance for variety of problems like portfolio optimization, fraud detection, synthetic financial data generation and Quantum Monte Carlo simulations for derivative pricing. The authors have skillfully maintained the balance between Mathematical proofs for experts and explanations for abstract quantum concepts useful for novice learners. Among all the chapters, I personally found Chapter 8 on Quantum Neural Networks (QNN) fascinating because it explains how to use parameterized Quantum gates as layers in QNNs and introduces gradient based approaches like parameter shift rules for backpropagation. Focus on NISQ-era algorithms for financial use cases matching the demand for today truly set this book apart. One limitation I noticed was limited discussion on effects of noisy data on Quantum model training and how to mitigate them. Overall, as a Machine Learning Engineer with major in Mathematics and with basic knowledge of Quantum Computing, I find this book a valuable resource for understanding and applying Quantum Algorithms to Financial problems.
