Quantum-Informed Portfolio Selection: An End-to-End Pipeline Validated on Trapped-Ion Hardware with Real Market Data

Romina Yalovetzky, Martin J. A. Schuetz, Zichang He +11

Portfolio diversification - a cornerstone of modern investment management - can be formulated as a Maximum Independent Set (MIS) problem on asset correlation graphs. Solving this p…

Applying a Random-Key Optimizer on Mixed Integer Programs

Antonio A. Chaves, Mauricio G. C. Resende, Carise E. Schmidt +3

Mixed-Integer Programs (MIPs) are NP-hard optimization models that arise in a broad range of decision-making applications, including finance, logistics, energy systems, and network…

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…

qReduMIS: A Quantum-Informed Reduction Algorithm for the Maximum Independent Set Problem

Martin J. A. Schuetz, Romina Yalovetzky, Ruben S. Andrist +8

We propose and implement a quantum-informed reduction algorithm for the maximum independent set problem that integrates classical kernelization techniques with information extracte…
