This repository contains the code and paper for the project:
Quantum-Entropic Martingale Transport for Robust Model-Free Derivative Pricing
PDF: Quantum-Entropic-MOT.pdf
Code: manage.py
Most market models (Black–Scholes, Heston, SABR) rely on fragile assumptions and unstable calibrations.
This project introduces a quantum-inspired, entropically-regularised variant of Martingale Optimal Transport (MOT) to deliver:
- Model-free no-arbitrage bounds for forward-start and European-style derivatives.
- Worst-case Greeks for conservative hedging and risk management.
- Stress testing through perturbed distributions.
The framework is scalable, stable, and integrates naturally with volatility smile workflows.

Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/QEOT-MOT.git cd QEOT-MOT
-
Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
-
Run the full pipeline:
python manage.py --generate-all --outdir outputs
-
All figures and CSVs will appear in the
outputs/folder.
You can then recompile the LaTeX paper withmain.texif needed.
- Forward-start bounds vs ε
- Bands vs strike multiple (α)
- ε-sensitivity (QEOT / Entropic MOT)
- Asymmetric widening under right-tail stress
