Researchers deliver evidence that quantum computers could soon solve valuable problems in algorithmic bond trading.
Global financial services company HSBC has announced evidence for the potential of quantum computers to solve valuable problems in the field of algorithmic bond trading. In an ongoing collaboration with IBM researchers combined quantum and classical computational resources to analyze HSBC's real-world, production-scale bond trading data. The hybrid quantum-classical methods employed by the HSBC-IBM team yielded up to a 34% improvement over purely classical techniques for predicting which trades would be completed.
