For my first quantum hackathon I integrated a custom Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) into portfolio optimization to enhance scalability and performance on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. I introduced what I call a “Shot-Efficient” Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation (SE-SPSA) algorithm, a modification of the classical SPSA, which dynamically adjusts the number of measurement shots during […]
