Finvena Event Details

The Quantum Finance Primer in Zurich is a groundbreaking 2-day workshop where quants and developers explore quantum computing applications for financial modeling. Participants solve real-world arbitrage detection and portfolio optimization problems using D-Wave's quantum processors, comparing results against classical algorithms. Through hands-on labs, attendees learn to formulate financial problems as QUBO models while examining quantum advantage in pricing exotic derivatives. The workshop features UBS's quantum research team demonstrating their latest risk simulation prototypes and includes a debate on hardware limitations (e.g., error correction, qubit coherence). Participants receive Python notebooks with quantum finance libraries (Qiskit Finance, PennyLane) and a 150-page playbook on quantum algorithm selection. Designed for quantitative analysts with linear algebra experience, this €1,200 event includes access to D-Wave's Leap quantum cloud for 30 days post-workshop, with top solutions presented to Swiss FinTech investors.
