Quantum-Enhanced Support Vector Machine for High-Dimensional Financial Market Prediction

Financial datasets possess high dimensionality and non-linear structure that challenge classical models in providing necessary forecastings. This work propose a hybrid Quantum-Enhanced Support Vector Machine (QSVM) that encodes technical indicators via a fixed ZZFeatureMap and computes a quantum kernel utilising a trainable Real Amplitude circuit and a classical SVM. The study adopts rigorous statistical validation with 10 independent runs, stratified with 5-fold CV, mean with 95% confidence intervals and uses McNemar’s test for paired significance. Realistic resource analysis and optional NISQ noise settings are included with qubits, circuit depth, two-qubit gates and shots. On a combined financial dataset, including S&P 500 stocks, cryptocurrencies, forex pairs and FRED economic indicators, QSVM achieves modest but statistically significant gains over tuned classical baselines, with advantages widening at high dimensionality. Results clarify simulation overheads and expected noise-induced degradation, supporting a cautious and reproducible assessment of QSVM for financial forecasting.

Supervised Quantum Support Vector Algorithms for High Frequency Financial Forecasting

Dr.E Mohanraj, K Anitha, Dr.S. Karunakaran +2 more

High-Frequency Financial Forecasting is important in algorithmic trading as it helps make decisions based on high-frequency data in milliseconds. This challenge has been found to be unsolvable using conventional machine learning approaches, such as classical Support Vector Machines (SVMs), Random Forest (RF), and deep learning models, which were not able to capture the nonlinear and high-dimensional patterns embedded in the high-frequency datasets, leading to poor prediction performance. This paper proposes a Supervised Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM) model, which is tailored for the high-frequency financial forecasting task. The QSVM can effectively encode the market information and enhance the predictability while maintaining the computational efficiency through quantum feature mapping and high-dimensional Hilbert space. This process includes encoding of tick-level market microstructure data, stock and futures prices, and technical indicators into quantum states and subsequent training using a quantum-classical hybrid optimization loop. Classical SVM, Random Forest, LSTM, and hybrid QML are used as the benchmarks for the proposed QSVM using forecasting accuracy, RMSE, MAPE, computational latency, and Sharpe ratio. The results obtained from the experiment show that the QSVM has better accuracy (91.2%), RMSE (0.018), and latency (22 ms) as well. Hence, the QSVM shows better performance when compared to other methods and is capable of modeling the markets that have a fast change in dynamics. High-dimensional quantum kernel plays a part in enhancing the ability to separate non-linearities. Therefore, the QSVM could be a potential solution to apply in algorithmic trading. The limitations are hardware constraints of NISQ and restrictions on the size of the dataset. Future directions of research will include the scalability of the model and the use of ensemble approaches.
