Abstract

The quantum annealing algorithm is an optimization algorithm which utilizes the quantum tunnelling effect produced by quantum fluctuations to escape local optima, thus enhancing the chance of finding the global optimal solution. Portfolio optimization problems effectively describe activities such as ordinary stock investments and asset management as optimization problems in portfolio investments. The quantum annealing algorithm leverages the unique properties of quantum mechanics, which could significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of solutions. This paper proposes a modelling and solution approach for the portfolio investment problem based on a quantum computing framework. The method utilizes the quantum annealing algorithm to optimize the real stock price trends in financial markets, building on the foundation of modern portfolio theory.
