 ##### **Financial Portfolio Rebalancing Using Variational Algorithms**  
 
 *Project description*: For my project I implemented the algorithm from *[M. Hodson et. al., 2019](https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.05296)*. that solves the financial portfolio rebalancing problem using variational quantum algorithms. Following the paper, I implemented the algorithm with both soft and with hard constraints and used different optimization algorithms to compare the results.  The project was carried out by myself under the mentorship of Guoming Wang.

 *Project description*: Classical neural networks encode higher dimensional vectors(inputs) to lower dimensional vectors(outputs), but the reverse is not possible. Recent research has shown us that scrambling of information from a small subsystem to a larger one is feasible. In our QOSF project, we analyse the effect of entanglement as a variational circuit trains and also study the role of various entropies to characterize entanglement.
