Alexandria Quantum Computing Hypatia Series

Shadab Hussain will talk about Portfolio Optimization using Qiskit and Eikon Data API.

This talk series is hosted by AleQCG. The series will be online and the details will be sent to the applicants after the registration process.

Portfolio Optimization using Qiskit and Eikon Data API

Abstract

Portfolio Optimization is an optimization problem where we select assets from the given collection to maximize return and minimize risk. These optimization problems can be formulated as quadratic programs and with a quantum computer, these optimization algorithms can be improvised and run in near-term devices.

In this talk, we will learn about applications of Quantum in Finance and see how at LSEG we have extended support of IBM's Qiskit Library with Eikon Data API to access real data and select assets for our portfolio.

Shadab is working as a Developer Advocate at the London Stock Exchange Group, Co-Founder of Quantum Computing India community, and formerly worked as a Data Scientist for startups and MNCs. He is having around 4 years of experience in Analytics, building end-to-end ml pipelines on the cloud using the AGILE framework. He has published a few research papers at National and International conferences. His current research focuses on investigating use cases of Quantum Computing in Finance and Healthcare.

The event is on the 24th of Dec at 8:00 PM Egypt time (GMT+2). An email will be sent to all the attendees before the event with all the required joining details.
