Abstract

The exponential growth of financial data and increasingly stringent regulatory reporting requirements have created unprecedented challenges for database systems in financial institutions. Traditional indexing and query optimization techniques, while effective for general-purpose applications, often fall short when applied to the specialized demands of financial reporting systems. These systems must process complex analytical queries across massive datasets while maintaining real-time performance, data consistency, and audit trail completeness. This research addresses these challenges through the development of a quantum-inspired indexing framework that represents a fundamental departure from traditional database optimization approaches. By leveraging concepts from quantum computing, specifically the principles of superposition and entanglement, we have created an indexing structure that maintains multiple potential configurations simultaneously. This allows the system to rapidly adapt to changing query patterns while minimizing the performance penalties typically associated with index reorganization. Our approach integrates machine learning techniques to predict optimal index configurations based on historical query patterns and real-time performance metrics.
