Toy discounted option estimate.
Simulation studio
Quantum Monte Carlo
Tune the option contract and market parameters, then compare a classical Monte Carlo estimate against a quantum-accelerated sample-complexity story.
The lab makes option pricing concrete while explaining where quantum amplitude-estimation ideas change the cost model rather than the payoff definition itself.

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
Quantum Monte Carlo
This lab ties pricing to cost models: the payoff definition stays classical, but amplitude-estimation intuition changes how sample complexity scales.

Outputs
Classical Monte Carlo path count.
Amplitude-estimation-style sample complexity.
Confidence band: +/- $0.69. The product story is not a new payoff function. It is the possibility of lower sample complexity for the same pricing task.
