Our dual objectives are to explore how commercially available quantum hardware and algorithms can solve real world problems in finance, and then to compare quantum solutions to their classical counterparts. Specifically, we use the D-Wave quantum annealing computer (D-Wave 2000Q) to address the...

In this article, the authors present a conceptual framework named 'Adaptive Seriational Risk Parity' (ASRP) to extend Hierarchical Risk Parity (HRP) as an asset allocation heuristic. The first step of HRP (quasi-diagonalization) determining the hierarchy of assets is required for the actual...
