Oxford Quantum Circuits and Trust Base Benchmark Hybrid Quantum Workloads for Financial Risk Modeling

Oxford Quantum Circuits and Trust Base Benchmark Hybrid Quantum Workloads for Financial Risk Modeling Quantum platform developer Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC) has completed a joint technical benchmarking initiative with Trust Base, the digital innovation subsidiary of Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Group. The project evaluated classical, hybrid quantum-classical, and fault-tolerant quantum algorithms across core financial compute workflows, including derivative pricing, Value-at-Risk (VaR), Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA), and expected positive exposure (EPE) modeling. The study benchmarked four computational architectures across Black-Scholes/Garman-Kohlhagen, Dupire local-volatility, and Hull-White model families: classical Monte Carlo baselines, classical Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), Quantum-compressed Physics-Informed Neural Networks (QPINNs), and Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) via amplitude estimation. While QPINN quantum feature maps demonstrated parameter efficiency, classical PINNs delivered superior wall-clock runtimes and numerical stability for high-order sensitivity calculations like Gamma on current hardware.

For Quantum Monte Carlo, execution profiling demonstrated that algorithmic optimizations like Quantum Signal Processing (QSP) could reduce resource requirements by up to 16× in T-gates and 4× in logical qubits.

The joint research establishes a practical framework for integrating hybrid quantum solvers into enterprise financial risk pipelines as QPU fidelity and compiler tools mature.
