If one were to defend the opposing argument, it could be said that the ability to perform sub-problems of portfolio optimization on a quantum system, even with 250 S&P 500 assets, is a promising technical breakthrough.
It's a step towards understanding the potential of quantum computers for complex problems, which could ultimately enhance our analytical tools.
However, it is important to note that the operational relevance for pension funds like ours far exceeds this type of proof of concept: we manage diversified portfolios with strict liquidity constraints and pension payment schedules.
A benchmark on 250 US stocks does not reflect the complexity of actuarial assumptions nor the mandates of our regulatory environment such as those of the AFM/DNB, which require active management of currency risks and non-listed assets.
We need robust solutions that incorporate ESG factors and international cash flows, for example, for our pension obligations in the Netherlands.

The assertion that large-scale portfolio optimization can be achieved through quantum computing is understandable, considering the remarkable technological advances. However, a performance test on 250 S&P 500 assets, while stimulating for research, does not reflect the robustness and risk modeling requirements of an institutional investment universe. For a pension fund, systems must manage thousands of instruments, including complex derivatives and private market assets, requiring scalability and resilience that far exceed the current capabilities of 64-qubit quantum computers. For example, managing our exposure to currency carry strategies or illiquid alternatives requires stochastic modeling that goes well beyond what a simple optimization of 250 stocks can validate. Quantum error correction and the stability of results over long time horizons remain fundamental challenges unaddressed, making direct application to long-term retirement obligations impractical.

Décollez le vernis marketing : ce « benchmarking sur 250 actifs » ne change rien aux flux de trésorerie réels demain.
À quoi bon l'optimisation quantique si elle ne gère pas les contraintes fiscales complexes ou la diversité des actifs numériques de notre DAO au Portugal?
Un tel test est purement académique, pas une solution pratique pour nos besoins de trésorerie quotidiens.
Par exemple, nous devons gérer des liquidités en stablecoins et des positions en tokens de gouvernance, pas seulement quelques actions du S&P 500, avec une granularité que cette étude ignore complètement.
C'est de la futilité technique, pas de l'exécution concrète qui nous intéresse.
