RESEARCH & INSTITUTIONAL ARCHIVE
This is a selective public record of research, programs, collaborations and recognition connected to FinQ. Every item in this first release passed the archive's Verified + Public Ready publishing gate and links back to public evidence.
Relationship labels matter: Official FinQ identifies an institutional FinQ activity. FinQ-affiliated identifies work connected to FinQ-affiliated people or activity and does not imply that the work itself is an official FinQ output.
PUBLICATION
Publications are included only when the archive has a verifiable public source and the FinQ relationship can be stated precisely.
FinQ-affiliated authors compared unconstrained transformation, penalty dephasing, and quantum-Zeno-based methods for constrained QAOA; the work appeared in ICCAD 2024 proceedings.
PROGRAMS & COLLABORATIONS
These records show the operating pattern behind FinQ: form a small group, put a technical question in front of it, and leave behind something inspectable.
An eight-week FinQ case study program reimplemented the Airbus Quantum Computing Challenge aircraft-loading optimization problem using QUBO, with small technical teams and a final proof-of-concept report.
A FinQ-supported team contributed a Variational Quantum Time Evolution tutorial to Qiskit during Unitary Hack 2023; the pull request was accepted and merged.
FinQ collaborated with the Quantum Computer Systems Lecture Series on a workshop featuring qBraid and Icosa Computing on quantum-inspired optimization for real-world trading.
EXTERNAL RECOGNITION
Recognition is strongest when an independent source can be followed directly. The wording below preserves the archive's distinction between institutional FinQ work and FinQ-affiliated work.
A FinQ-affiliated research proposal on probabilistic word embedding with quantum sampling received joint first place in the 2025 Linda G. O'Bryant Noetic Sciences Research Prize.
ATTRIBUTION
The archive deliberately uses narrower language when the evidence supports association but not institutional ownership.
An official FinQ program, project, collaboration, or institutional activity.
Work connected to FinQ-affiliated people or activity; this label does not make it an official FinQ output.
Independent third-party coverage or recognition referring to FinQ or FinQ-affiliated work.
