Rigetti Computing Inc., in collaboration with Imperial College London and Standard Chartered, has been awarded an Innovate UK grant to advance research in Quantum Machine Learning (QML) for financial data streams. The joint project focuses on developing and testing quantum-enhanced algorithms, leveraging complex market microstructure data provided by Standard Chartered. The consortium aims to explore the integration of quantum transformations within classical machine learning pipelines, with support from AWS for quantum circuit simulation resources. This multi-organization effort seeks to validate the potential of QML techniques before deployment on quantum hardware.
