Quantum Network of Assets (QNA): A Density-Operator Framework for Market Dependence and Structural Risk Diagnostics

Classical correlation and rolling PCA summarize market dependence through covariance spectra, but they do not provide a unified operator representation for entropy, purity-based mixing, and standardized structural deviations built from rolling multi-feature trajectories. We propose the Quantum Netwo

Latent Variable Phillips Curve

This paper re-examines the empirical Phillips curve (PC) model and its usefulness in the context of medium-term inflation forecasting. A latent variable Phillips curve hypothesis is formulated and tested using 3,968 randomly generated factor combinations. Evidence from US core PCE inflation between

Beyond Binary Screens: A Continuous Shariah Compliance Index for Asset Pricing and Portfolio Design

Binary Shariah screens vary across standards and apply hard thresholds that create discontinuous classifications. We construct a Continuous Shariah Compliance Index (CSCI) in $[“0,1”]$ by mapping standard screening ratios to smooth scores between conservative ``comfort’’ bounds and permissive outer

Quantum Computing for Financial Transformation: A Review of Optimisation, Pricing, Risk, Machine Learning, and Post-Quantum Security

Quantum computing is becoming strategically relevant to finance because several core financial bottlenecks are already defined by combinatorial search, expectation estimation, rare-event analysis, representation learning, and long-horizon cryptographic resilience. This review examines that landscape

A machine learning approach to support decision in insider trading detection

Identifying market abuse activity from data on investors’ trading activity is very challenging both for the data volume and for the low signal to noise ratio. Here we propose two complementary unsupervised machine learning methods to support market surveillance aimed at identifying potential insider
