Quantum Portfolio Construction

Can a quantum computer build a better portfolio than Wall Street's playbook?

The graphic is a wave packet tunnelling: quantum annealing can pass through energy barriers that classical search has to climb over.

GET INVOLVED

We are forming our first research team.

A project is one undergraduate lead, a small group of pre-university analysts, and a research question worth a term of work. Here is where you would fit.

UNDERGRADUATE · POSTGRADUATE

Lead a project

Bring a research question and take it all the way to a published writeup, with a team around you and your name on the work.

PRE-UNIVERSITY

Join a research team

Work on a live project as an analyst, or on the guide that ships alongside it. No prior experience is assumed.

TEACHERS · HEADS OF SIXTH FORM

Bring this to your school

Talk to us about placing students on a team, what the work involves week to week, and the safeguarding behind it.

LEARN

Every project comes with a guide.

Research is only useful if people can read it, so each project ships with a hands-on guide that teaches its method. Free, and nothing to sign up for.

FLAGSHIP

Quantum Portfolio Construction

Go from a 1,500-stock screen to reading the live classical-versus-quantum experiment yourself. You build every idea by hand: diversification, the QUBO, annealing, and how to judge a quantum claim honestly.

MORE SOON

A new guide lands with every research project we publish.

REPORTING

Markets, written up by the team.

Shorter than a research project and quicker to read: what happened, what it means, and what the numbers actually support.

FIRST ARTICLES SOON

Financial reporting from the team, starting soon. The reporting analysts on our first research team will write the first pieces.

How to read anything on this site

EquityLens is an open research and education platform, not an investment product, and nothing here is investment advice. Every project publishes its method and its limitations alongside its findings. The forward record above is realised and out of sample, but it is short: at this length it describes what has happened rather than predicting what will, and it is not a track record. Any in-sample figure elsewhere on the site characterises today's basket and is flattered by survivorship bias. The guides exist precisely to teach you to read all of this honestly. Screen data as of 2026-09-07.
