The contributions of this paper are twofold: we define and investigate the properties of a short rate model driven by a general Gaussian Volterra process and, after defining precisely a notion of convexity adjustment, derive explicit formulae for it.
Quantum computing has recently appeared in the headlines of many scientific and popular publications. In the context of quantitative finance, we provide here an overview of its potential.
We introduce a new deep-learning based algorithm to evaluate options in affine rough stochastic volatility models. Viewing the pricing function as the solution to a curve-dependent PDE (CPDE), depending on forward curves rather than the whole path of the process, for which we develop a numerical scheme based on deep learning techniques. Numerical simulations suggest that the latter is a promising alternative to classical Monte Carlo simulations.
We propose a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm, originated from quantum chemistry, to price European and Asian options in the Black-Scholes model. Our approach is based on the equivalence between the pricing partial differential equation and the Schrodinger equation in imaginary time. We devise a strategy to build a shallow quantum circuit approximation to this equation, only requiring few qubits. This constitutes a promising candidate for the application of Quantum Computing techniques (with large number of qubits affected by noise) in Quantitative Finance.
We introduce a stacking version of the Monte Carlo algorithm in the context of option pricing. Introduced recently for aeronautic computations, this simple technique, in the spirit of current machine learning ideas, learns control variates by approximating Monte Carlo draws with some specified function. We describe the method from first principles and suggest appropriate fits, and show its efficiency to evaluate European and Asian Call options in constant and stochastic volatility models.
