QAOA Portfolio Optimization
Vary portfolio style, risk aversion, optimizer, and mixing parameters to compare expected return, volatility, and objective score.
The lab is framed as a quantum-inspired decision surface, keeping the financial tradeoffs visible rather than burying them behind solver jargon.

Live lab
Interactive simulation workspace
These academy-style labs are designed as compact, browser-playable teaching surfaces: enough interaction to make the core idea legible, without pretending to be a full research workbench.
Interactive academy lab
QAOA Portfolio Optimization
Read QAOA-inspired finance as a decision surface: the learner tunes risk, mixing, and optimizer behavior while the portfolio weights and score rebalance.
Controls
Outputs
Toy annualized volatility proxy.
Risk-adjusted objective used in the lab.
This prototype keeps the finance tradeoff visible: a higher-return mix usually comes with higher volatility, and lambda determines how hard the optimizer resists that.
