Picking the Most Efficient Portfolio Out of 314 US Stocks at One Time
Picking the most efficient portfolio out of 314 US stocks at one time We enter 314 US liquid common stocks into our portfolio optimization application, which runs well with 64 stocks. After making adjustments to the code to allow for greater scale, and instrumenting our quantum methods to ignore runs > 64 stocks, we were […]

We Can Run 64 Stocks on the D-Wave Quantum Annealer; What Happened When We Ran 72?
We promise there was no smoke, no fire, and nobody got hurt. We had to push the limit from the 60 we ran in our article to 72. We thought there was room on the qubits through ad-hoc observation for 20% more stocks when we published our last article here. Why try 72? We know […]
