Clay Pigeon Gaming Event for the London Office!
The London office welcomed Mike this week, and took the team out for a fun night of simulation clay pigeon shooting at Clays bar on Tuesday.
Everyone’s competitive sides came out as we played a variety of games, with Duncan and Vincent battling it out for the overall champion of the night. Each employee got a chance to play alongside their coworkers in teams, while also fending for themselves in 1 on 1 competitions.
We enjoyed loads of food, drinks, and overall had a great time chatting with Mike, alongside our new hire, Yuhao! As we celebrate the addition of two more interns in the coming weeks, the UK team is looking forward to an exciting summer full of events.
Sporty Company Outing at Open Squash!
The Quantbot NY team enjoyed some friendly competition this Tuesday at Open Squash, which we brought back again this year after its success last year! The interns got a chance to show off their skills on the court against the employees, as well as chat with everyone outside of the office space.
The evening consisted of squash, food, and drinks, allowing everyone to unwind and have fun after work. We look forward to the other exciting events planned for the summer!

After a day of reviewing the firm’s strategic plans for the coming years, the group had a wonderful time together, and exchanged lots of stories and laughs!
Quantbot Welcomes New Interns with Meet and Greet Event!

Fascinating Lecture from Qognitive on Quantum Cognition Machine Learning!
On May 5th, the Quantbot team in New York had the privilege of hearing from Kharen Musaelian and Dario Villani of Qognitive, as they presented their lecture, “Quantum Cognition Machine Learning: a path to human-like abstraction and inference.”
The lecture outlined new machine learning developments being made by Qognitive employees that could potentially benefit many spheres of our day-to-day lives, from finance to health care. Qognitive informed us of their unique approach that allows them to scale large data sets, providing additional insights that statistical learning techniques may miss.
We thoroughly enjoyed engaging with the representatives from Qognitive and learning about their innovative developments, and we look forward to hearing more in the future!
