Reducing the arithmetic cost of quantum derivative pricing with language-model circuit design

Quantum amplitude estimation can estimate expected discounted payoffs with quadratically fewer oracle calls than Monte Carlo, but each call requires coherent computation. We use language-model-assisted circuit design to reduce reversible payoff arithmetic for a three-asset worst-of autocallable and a target accrual redemption forward (TARF). The constructions retain compact integer representations of market paths alongside contract history, reconstructing quantities temporarily for contract decisions and payoff-angle evaluation. Relative to matched internal references, the factor-sum autocallable and windowed TARF circuits reduce the product of Toffoli count and peak logical qubits $(N_{Tof} Q_{max})$ by factors of 2.39 and 4.84, respectively. At a second autocallable setting, fresh search recovers a 1.35-fold saving after the tested fixed adaptation loses its advantage. For the factor-sum circuit, we prove exact coherent execution of its integer specification for every input, incoming accumulator and measurement record, with clean workspace and phase cancellation. A separate lattice calculation gives a numerical angle-tolerance-violation probability of 6.248e-8 and evaluates pricing bias under the declared loading law, with bounded omission but no certified numerical enclosure. The results connect compact representations to lower-cost payoff arithmetic and separately assessed logical and financial correctness. Their resource scope excludes loading, payoff rotation and estimation.

Abstract

Quantum amplitude estimation can estimate expected discounted payoffs with quadratically fewer oracle calls than Monte Carlo, but each call requires coherent computation. We use language-model-assisted circuit design to reduce reversible payoff arithmetic for a three-asset worst-of autocallable and a target accrual redemption forward (TARF). The constructions retain compact integer representations of market paths alongside contract history, reconstructing quantities temporarily for contract decisions and payoff-angle evaluation. Relative to matched internal references, the factor-sum autocallable and windowed TARF circuits reduce the product of Toffoli count and peak logical qubits $(N_{Tof} Q_{max})$ by factors of 2.39 and 4.84, respectively. At a second autocallable setting, fresh search recovers a 1.35-fold saving after the tested fixed adaptation loses its advantage. For the factor-sum circuit, we prove exact coherent execution of its integer specification for every input, incoming accumulator and measurement record, with clean workspace and phase cancellation. A separate lattice calculation gives a numerical angle-tolerance-violation probability of 6.248e-8 and evaluates pricing bias under the declared loading law, with bounded omission but no certified numerical enclosure. The results connect compact representations to lower-cost payoff arithmetic and separately assessed logical and financial correctness. Their resource scope excludes loading, payoff rotation and estimation.
