Title: Implementing Financial Algorithms on IonQ devices
This presentation will highlight IonQ's latest progress in leveraging novel quantum computing algorithms for financial industry challenges, such as the standard problem of discrete portfolio optimization. Furthermore, we will explore the integration of quantum finance within broader AI workflows. This includes using methods such as Topological Data Analysis for feature engineering, Quantum Copula for scenario generation, & Quantum LLM for LLM fine-tuning. The presentation will outline the potential benefits of quantum finance, focusing on various areas of improvement such as speed, accuracy, & efficiency-going beyond the standard speedups typically sought after by the industry.
