Talk Title: Revolutionizing Modern Industries with Quantum Technology: A case study for the Financial Industry

Abstract: Quantum computing can efficiently solve complex combinatorial optimization problems in industries like finance. This talk will cover research at JPMorgan Chase's Global Technology Applied Research, focusing on the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) and a novel method using Quantum Random Access Code (QRAC). This method has shown superior performance compared to other quantum methods and matches top classical solvers on standard benchmarks.
