QuantumRisk
A full-stack quantum finance app that prices European call options and calculates Value at Risk two ways: Iterative Quantum Amplitude Estimation against classical Monte Carlo.
IQAE encodes a log-normal price distribution into quantum amplitudes and extracts expected payoff with O(1/N) convergence, a quadratic speedup over Monte Carlo's O(1/√N).
- Prices options via a 3-qubit IQAE circuit with log-normal amplitude encoding and a payoff oracle, shown side by side with a 10,000-path Monte Carlo baseline.
- Calculates portfolio VaR at 95% confidence using both methods, with live market data and volatility pulled from Yahoo Finance.
- Documents hardware constraints honestly: statevector simulation, 8 price bins, quantum advantage theoretical but the algorithm hardware-ready.
