Modern Computational Methods in Reinsurance Optimization: From Simulated Annealing to Quantum Branch & Bound
George Woodman, Ruben S. Andrist, Thomas Häner +4
We propose and implement modern computational methods to enhance catastrophe excess-of-loss reinsurance contracts in practice. The underlying optimization problem involves attachme…

Solving QUBOs with a quantum-amenable branch and bound method
Thomas Häner, Kyle E. C. Booth, Sima E. Borujeni +1
Due to the expected disparity in quantum vs. classical clock speeds, quantum advantage for branch and bound algorithms is more likely achievable in settings involving large search…

Sparse Simulation of VQE Circuits
Damian S. Steiger, Thomas Häner, Scott N. Genin +1
The Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) is a promising algorithm for future Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices to simulate chemical systems. In this paper, we consid…
