Abstract
This tutorial paper introduces quantum approaches to Monte Carlo computation with applications in computational finance. We outline the basics of quantum computing using Grover's algorithm for unstructured search to build intuition. We then move slowly to amplitude estimation problems and applications to counting and Monte Carlo integration, again using Grover-type iterations. A hands-on Python/Qiskit implementation illustrates these concepts applied to finance. The paper concludes with a discussion on current challenges in scaling quantum simulation techniques.
