Audience members captiavated by the lecture

In his talk, Dr Lee introduced this challenging AI-Fintech technology, and explained how the two pillars of Quantum Finance – Quantum Field Theory and Contemporary AI Technology can be integrated together to model financial big data and implement real time worldwide financial prediction and quantum trading systems.

He also explained a brief history of quantum finance and AI before talking about his research and ongoing projects. He said, “If weather can be forecasted than why can’t the financial market be as well” before continuing on to say that he has focused his life on the future and what can come next in the quantum finance and AI world.
