Quantum neural networks show promise in financial forecasting, but hardware noise remains a barrier

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new study published on arXiv benchmarks various configurations of quantum neural networks (QNNs) for financial time series forecasting, specifically using the GBP/USD exchange rate. The research explored 1,368 distinct QNN configurations, evaluating prediction accuracy, computational cost, and convergence. Findings indicate that gate selection and arrangement are more critical than parameter count, and entanglement is a system-level property. The top-performing QNN achieved an R^2 score of 0.985, surpassing a classical BiLSTM baseline. However, execution on the IQM Emerald quantum device revealed that hardware noise, including gate errors and decoherence, poses a significant challenge for practical deployment. AI

IMPACT Provides architectural guidance for quantum neural network design and highlights noise sensitivity on near-term quantum devices.
