Certified Higher-Order QAOA for Collateral Optimization

Core Concept

CR-HO-QAOA: A certified higher-order quantum framework for margin- and CSA-aware collateral allocation in uncleared derivatives. Institutions must satisfy margin requirements while respecting CSA eligibility rules, valuation percentages, rounding, transfer thresholds, concentration limits, custody conditions, inventory, and VM/IM/IA side constraints.

The framework maps higher-order binary models into Pauli-Z cost Hamiltonians and uses collateral-specific feasible-subspace mixers to preserve one-hot choices, movement budgets, and side assignments. Candidates are decoded, repaired if needed, evaluated under an eight-term production objective, and certified by a deterministic CP-SAT master solver before any recommendation is reported.

Architecture

Adapter-First Margin Normalization

• Official SIMM, proxy SIMM, legacy IA, VM-only, RQV, or hybrid margin sources normalized into common MarginRequirement
• Optimizer does NOT calculate or replace official SIMM — acts as adapter layer

Higher-Order Binary Model

• Hyperedges capture: concentration pressure, custody batches, substitution tickets, chunky lots, liquidity effects, overshoot, side-specific requirements
• Goes beyond QUBO to capture multi-variable interactions natively

Quantum Layer

• Maps hyperedges into Pauli-Z cost Hamiltonian
• Feasible-subspace mixers preserve structural constraints (one-hot, movement budgets, side assignments, substitution structure)
• Improves certified sample quality vs. QUBO-style and generic-mixer baselines

CP-SAT Certification

• Deterministic CP-SAT master solver acts as feasibility and governance arbiter
• Every quantum candidate must pass certification before being reported
• Quantum layer generates candidates; classical solver certifies

Workflow

Step 1: Margin Requirement Normalization

1. Collect margin requirements from all sources (SIMM, proxy SIMM, legacy IA, VM-only, RQV)
2. Normalize into common MarginRequirement structure
3. Load CSA terms and current inventory

Step 2: Build Active Neighborhood

1. Define bounded set of actions: pledge, recall, substitution, batch, slack
2. Identify hyperedges: concentration pressure, custody batches, substitution tickets, chunky lots, liquidity effects, overshoot, side-specific requirements
3. Construct higher-order binary optimization model

Step 3: Quantum Optimization

1. Map hyperedges to Pauli-Z cost Hamiltonian
2. Apply collateral-specific feasible-subspace mixers
3. Run quantum circuit to generate candidate solutions
4. Decode candidates, repair constraint violations if needed

Step 4: CP-SAT Certification

1. Evaluate candidates under eight-term production objective
2. Pass candidates through deterministic CP-SAT master solver
3. Only certified recommendations are reported

Step 5: Output

• Certified optimal or near-optimal collateral allocation
• Feasibility guarantee from CP-SAT arbiter

Key Advantages vs Standard QAOA

Aspect	Standard QAOA	CR-HO-QAOA
Constraint model	QUBO (quadratic only)	Higher-order binary (k-body terms)
Mixer	Generic transverse-field	Feasible-subspace (preserves structure)
Certification	None	CP-SAT deterministic solver
Constraint handling	Penalty-based	Feasible-subspace + repair
Applicability	Generic optimization	Domain-specific (collateral/finance)

Error Handling

Quantum Candidate Infeasible

• Apply repair heuristics to fix constraint violations
• Re-evaluate under production objective
• If still infeasible, discard and generate next candidate

CP-SAT Timeout

• Use best certified candidate found so far
• Report uncertainty level with recommendation
• Fall back to classical optimization if no certified candidates

No Quantum Advantage

• Framework designed as hybrid: quantum generates candidates, classical certifies
• Even without quantum advantage, higher-order modeling provides value over QUBO
• CP-SAT serves as baseline and governance arbiter
