Before committing, it is necessary to evaluate the limits of this approach. If only the benchmarks on reduced systems are considered, the risk of a false positive is significant, as extrapolating to more numerous assets introduces unforeseen complexities. The example of the failure of Long-Term Capital Management demonstrates that sophisticated modeling, even validated on past data, can collapse under real market conditions.

Where does it fail? Simply benchmarking on a development system is not sufficient proof of real-world applicability or robustness in the markets. The weak link is extrapolating laboratory performance to live portfolio management; a system can manage 250 assets but break under unexpected risks or extreme volatility. For example, during the 2008 financial crisis, many optimization models experienced a catastrophic failure mode because they did not anticipate systemic failure.

Raisons
Who has an interest in considering a benchmark on a 64-qubit system as sufficient proof for large-scale investment decisions? The gain for researchers is academic validation, but for a hedge fund manager, it's risk-adjusted performance.
If everyone relies on small-scale benchmarks, the risk of a false positive becomes high, because incentives are misaligned between proof of concept and practical application.
For example, an optimized portfolio in the laboratory without considering transaction costs or market liquidity for thousands of assets would lead to a significant defection of the strategy in real-world conditions.
