Is it possible to demonstrate a quadratic speed-up of a quantum algorithm on a classical computer?

I have not read the full details of the paper, but have attempted to skim over the most relevant bits to the question (i.e. I could easily have missed something). As I read the paper, they are doing ...

Travelling salesman problem on quantum computer

Based on comment by DaftWullie and my experience with the algortihm, it seems that a title of the article is misleading. The authors claim that algorithm they proposed is efficient. However, this is ...

Cannot replicate results in article on pricing financial derivatives on IBM Q

One thing that I noticed. If cu3 gate from $q[2]$ to $q[0]$ is some $U$, then the cu3 from $q[2]$ to $q[0]$ should be $U^2$ in the phase estimation algorithm, but the comparisons of operators with the ...

Qiskit sample - Portfolio optimization

The budget constraint is only added as a penalty term (multiplied by ‘penalty’ coefficient) in the Hamiltonian and does not enforce equality. This means the objective function is $$ \text{min}_{x\in\{...

What is the risk factor on IBM's portfolio optimization notebook?

The objective of the portfolio optimization problem is to trade off expected return ($\mu^T x$) with the risk taken ($x^T \Sigma $x). This could be achieved by introducing a constraint on the risk, e....

Why can quantum computing help in Portfolio Optimization?

It depends on algorithm you use for the optimization. In certain cases, you can use HHL algorithm because the optimization is converted to solution of a linear system. In this case we can obtain up to ...

Portfolio optimization via quantum Zeno dynamics in Qiskit

The term that you are looking for is "quantum zeno effect" or "quantum zeno dynamics". As far as I know, there are not quantum zeno effect experiments implemented in Qiskit (yet).
