• Abstract: Portfolio optimization is one of the most studied problems for demonstrating the near-term applications of quantum computing. However, large-scale problems cannot be solved on today's quantum hardware. In this work, we extend upon a study to use the best of both quantum annealing and gate-based quantum computing systems to enable solving large-scale optimization problems efficiently on the available hardware. The existing work uses a method called Large System Sampling Approximation (LSSA) that involves dividing the large problem into several smaller problems and then combining the multiple solutions to approximate the solution to the original problem. This paper introduces a novel technique to modify the sampling step of LSSA. We divide the portfolio optimization problem into sub-systems of smaller sizes by selecting a diverse set of assets that act as representatives of the entire market and capture the highest correlations among assets. We conduct tests on real-world stock data from the Indian stock market on up to 64 assets. Our experimentation shows that the hybrid approach performs at par with the traditional classical optimization methods with a good approximation ratio. We also demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on a range of portfolio optimization problems of different sizes. We present the effects of different parameters on the proposed method and compare its performance with the earlier work. Our findings suggest that hybrid annealer-gate quantum computing can be a valuable tool for portfolio managers seeking to optimize their investment portfolios in the near future.

However, QUBO solvers are single objective solvers.

  Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) is most often approached in the tracking-by-detection paradigm, where object detections are associated through time. As these optimization problems are often NP-hard, they can only be solved exactly for small instances on current hardware. We show that our approach is competitive compared with state-of-the-art optimization-based approaches, even when using of-the-shelf integer programming solvers.

  We quantify scaling of the expected resource requirements by optimized circuits for hardware architectures with varying levels of connectivity. We show the number of measurements, and hence total time to synthesizing solution, grows exponentially in problem size and problem graph degree. These problems may be alleviated by increasing hardware connectivity or by recently proposed modifications to the QAOA that achieve higher performance with fewer circuit layers.

  Hybrid quantum-classical algorithms such as Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) are considered as one of the most encouraging approaches for taking advantage of near-term quantum computers in practical applications. Such algorithms are usually implemented in a variational form, combining a classical optimization method with a quantum machine to find good solutions to an optimization problem. In this study we apply a Cross-Entropy method to shape this landscape, which allows the classical parameter to find better parameters more easily and hence results in an improved performance.
