QADQN: Quantum Attention Deep Q-Network for Financial Market Prediction

Siddhant Dutta, Nouhaila Innan, Alberto Marchisio +2 more

Financial market prediction and optimal trading strategy development remain challenging due to market complexity and volatility. Our research in quantum finance and reinforcement learning for decision-making demonstrates the approach of quantum-classical hybrid algorithms to tackling real-world finan-cial challenges. In this respect, we corroborate the concept with rigorous backtesting and validate the framework's performance under realistic market conditions, by including fixed transaction cost per trade. This paper introduces a Quantum Attention Deep Q-Network (QADQN) approach to address these challenges through quantum-enhanced reinforcement learning. Our QADQN architecture uses a variational quantum circuit inside a traditional deep Q-learning framework to take advantage of possible quantum advantages in decision-making. We gauge the QADQN agent's performance on historical data from major market indices, including the S&P 500. We evaluate the agent's learning process by examining its reward accumulation and the effectiveness of its experience replay mechanism. Our empirical results demonstrate the QADQN's superior performance, achieving better risk-adjusted returns with Sortino ratios of 1.28 and 1.19 for non-overlapping and overlapping test periods respectively, indicating effective downside risk management.

Quantum Machine Learning Framework for Predicting Risk and Market Volatility

Sivashanmugam Thangavel, S. Murugan, N. Saranya Devi +3 more

Financial markets undergo rapid oscillations driven by several volatile causes, necessitating expedited and precise models for risk evaluation and market trend forecasting. Classical models encounter computational constraints when examining high-dimensional, nonlinear datasets. This study seeks to use Quantum Machine Learning (QML) methodologies to expedite risk evaluation and improve volatility forecasting for various financial instruments in real-time settings. The unique contribution of this work is the integration of quantum machine learning with financial risk assessment, leveraging quantum parallelism and kernelized feature spaces to improve the accuracy of market volatility prediction. This framework not only enhances computational efficiency compared to classical models but also provides a scalable foundation for real-time financial decision-making. The system employs Kaggle-style datasets including CME futures, Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), HRB, and historical data from the Dow Jones (DJI). Essential metrics including Open, Close, High, Low, Volume, Volatility Index, and Price Returns were retrieved. A hybrid pipeline combining conventional preprocessing with quantum-enhanced classifiers, including variational quantum circuits, was developed using the Qiskit and Pennylane frameworks. The QML-based model had a prediction accuracy of 95.2% in risk categorization and market direction forecasting, exceeding traditional standards. Quantum models provide significant benefits in velocity and scalability for financial analytics, enabling real-time risk assessment and strategic investment analysis.
