Undergraduate researcher Harsh Desai<\/strong> presented his poster, “Cross-Continental Electricity Price Prediction Using Quantum AI,”<\/em> at the SUNY AI Symposium 2026: Scaling the New York AI Innovation Ecosystem<\/strong>, hosted by Stony Brook University<\/strong>. The research was conducted under the mentorship of Dr. Sayed Mohsin Reza<\/strong> with co-author Dr. Md Habib Ullah<\/strong>, and investigated the use of hybrid quantum-classical artificial intelligence models for forecasting day-ahead electricity prices across energy markets in Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project combined Variational Quantum Circuits (VQC)<\/strong> with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)<\/strong> networks to develop a Quantum AI forecasting framework capable of improving prediction accuracy and stability compared to traditional machine learning approaches. The work demonstrates the potential of quantum-enhanced AI methods for addressing complex challenges in electricity market analytics and energy decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supported by the AI Frontiers REU Program<\/strong> and the Penn State Harrisburg Office of Research and Outreach<\/strong>, the project provided valuable undergraduate research experience while contributing to emerging research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and energy systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
