Application
Towards Prediction of Financial Crashes with a D-Wave Quantum Computer

Prediction of financial crashes in a complex financial network is known to be an NP-hard problem, i.e., a problem which cannot be solved efficiently with a classical computer. We experimentally explore a novel approach to this problem by using a D-Wave quantum computer to obtain financial equilibrium more efficiently... Our experiment paves the way to study quantitative macroeconomics, enlarging the number of problems that can be handled by current quantum computers.
