Portfolio Optimization is an optimization problem where we select assets from the given collection to maximize return and minimize risk. These optimization problems can be formulated as quadratic programs and with a quantum computer, these optimization algorithms can be improvised and run in near-term devices.
In this talk, we will learn about applications of Quantum in Finance and see how at LSEG we have extended support of IBM's Qiskit Library with Eikon Data API to access real data and select assets for our portfolio.
