Scalable Quantum Computing – Part B

Ruken Family Office Corporation is an investment firm specializing in data-driven strategies, risk modeling, and computational finance. As financial markets become increasingly reliant on high-performance computing, emerging technologies like quantum computing have the potential to reshape computational methodologies. However, the scalability and practical viability of quantum computing remain uncertain.
This project aims to identify which finance workloads suit quantum methods under realistic constraints. The work will account for full costs from data loading, state preparation, memory access, communication, and error correction, not only idealized circuit depth. It will produce fair, reproducible comparisons with CPU and GPU approaches at matched accuracy and runtime targets, characterize scaling with problem size and precision, and isolate the bottlenecks and the conditions that remove them.
The anticipated benefits include gaining access to research-based tools that assess the performance of commercial quantum platforms on financial workloads, provide insights into their scalability potential, and enhance understanding of future computational paradigms.
