Application of Quantum Computers in Foreign Exchange Reserves Management
The main purpose of this article is to evaluate possible applications of quantum computers in foreign exchange reserves management. The capabilities of quantum computers are demonstrated by means of risk measurement using the quantum Monte Carlo method and portfolio optimization using a linear equations system solver (the Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd algorithm) and quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (the quantum approximate optimization algorithm). All demonstrations are carried out on the cloud-based IBM Quantum(TM) platform. Despite the fact that real-world applications are impossible under the current state of development of quantum computers, it is proven that in principle it will be possible to apply such computers in FX reserves management in the future. In addition, the article serves as an introduction to quantum computing for the staff of central banks and financial market supervisory authorities.

Finding the Optimal Currency Composition of Foreign Exchange Reserves with a Quantum Computer
Portfolio optimization is an inseparable part of strategic asset allocation at the Czech National Bank. Quantum computing is a new technology offering algorithms for that problem. The capabilities and limitations of quan…
Portfolio OptimizationEstimating the Currency Composition of Foreign Exchange Reserves
Central banks manage about \$12 trillion in foreign exchange reserves, influencing global exchange rates and asset prices. However, some of the largest holders of reserves report minimal information about their currency …
A divide-and-conquer algorithm for quantum state preparation
Advantages in several fields of research and industry are expected with the rise of quantum computers. However, the computational cost to load classical data in quantum computers can impose restrictions on possible quant…
Quantum Machine LearningCloning and Beyond: A Quantum Solution to Duplicate Code
Quantum computers are becoming a reality. The advantage of quantum computing is that it has the potential to solve computationally complex problems in a fixed amount time, independent of the size of the problem. However,…
Clone DetectionEvolution of exchange rate regime: Impact of macroeconomy of Bangladesh
Bangladesh has experienced two distinct exchange rate regimes: a fixed exchange rate system from January 1972 to May 2003 and a floating one since June 2003. After adopting the floating exchange rate regime, Bangladesh p…
