Putting you at the forefront of quantum

Applications of Quantum Computing in Finance

by Dr David Moche

“We created our ‘QuantumAlgo’ (QA) series of algorithms to leverage simulated data from a variety of market conditions, selecting the best placement and execution strategies, to maximize returns. It then uses reinforcement learning, a subset of machine learning, to assess performance and utilize neural networks, to consistently learn and refine its performance.”

CEO of Qfinity Labs

The Company

Founded in 2013, Qfinity Labs researched and utilized quantum computers to solve real world issues in the financial markets. Their goal has been to develop state of the art algorithms which can beat the market consistently, across all market conditions. Algorithms with varying risk parameters have been created to serve a wide range of traders and firms with different risk profiles.

“Consistently beating the financial markets requires having an edge over competitors. Our edge is our quantum computing algorithms, with machine learning and neural network capabilities.”
