By James Preston and Hayden Van Der Post

Reactive Publishing

Finance is about to be rewritten, not by Wall Street, but by quantum physics.

In Quantum Finance, Hayden Van Der Post delivers a groundbreaking synthesis of quantum computing and capital markets, offering a bold roadmap for the post-classical financial era. Whether you're a quant, trader, investor, data scientist, or financial visionary, this book reveals the coming wave of disruption that will reshape risk, alpha, and opportunity as we know it.

From quantum algorithms like Grover's and Shor's, to quantum-enhanced Monte Carlo simulations, to portfolio optimization via QUBO solvers, this is the first comprehensive guide to applying quantum theory to real-world finance problems. With clarity, technical insight, and global perspective, Van Der Post bridges abstract theory with practical implementation, creating a new playbook for trading, risk management, and institutional strategy.

What You'll Learn

-How quantum computing redefines information, uncertainty, and time in financial systems
-Use cases for QAOA, VQE, quantum annealing, and more in capital markets
-Quantum Monte Carlo models to improve simulations and pricing accuracy
-Portfolio optimization using quantum-native QUBO frameworks
-Step-by-step walkthroughs with Qiskit, PennyLane, and D-Wave Ocean SDK
-Global implications: who wins the quantum finance arms race, US, China, or the shadow state of capital?
