   This paper is devoted to the connection between the probability distributions which produce solutions of the one-dimensional, time-independent Schr?dinger Equation and the Risk Measures’ Theory. We deduce that the Pareto, the Generalized Pareto Distributions and in general the distributions whose support is a pure subset of the positive real numbers, are adequate for the definition of the so-called Quantum Risk Measures. Thanks both to the finite values of them and the relation of these distributions to the Extreme Value Theory, these new Risk Measures may be useful in cases where a discrimination of types of insurance contracts and the volume of contracts has to be known. In the case of use of the Quantum Theory, the mass of the quantum particle represents either the volume of trading in a financial asset, or the number of insurance contracts of a certain type.

Introduction</title><p>As it is mentioned in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.63475-ref1">1</xref>] , the cause for the use of the use of quantum theory in risk models and finance is their complexity, in the sense that the return of an asset or the value of it depends on several factors. At this point we may quote that though there exists a broad literature in finance which relies on the notions of quantum mechanics, there is a lack of literature which connects quantum mechanics’ modelling and risk theory. A semi- nal reference in quantum finacnce is the paper under the same title [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.63475-ref2">2</xref>] , which refers to the basics of this subject. Another essential reference is [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.63475-ref3">3</xref>] , which is more related to asset pricing. The other book [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.63475-ref4">4</xref>] by the same author is related to interest rates and bond pricing. We write this paper in order to contribute in the research on the relation between quantum finance and risk theory where there is not so much literature. A central role in the theory of risk models recently belongs to the risk measures. Since the main objective of this paper is the risk measures on Hamiltonian operators, it is useful to remind some essential notions from quantum theory, which are useful in the sequel (see [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.63475-ref5">5</xref>] ).</p><p>Definition 1.1.

The paper is organized as follows. In the next section, we mention the relation between the main notions of the quantum mechanics and the risk theory and finance as well. We emphasize on the role of the wave-functions as probability- density producers related to the claim of some insurance contract. We also define the notion of the quantum risk measure, related to the time-independent Hamiltonian associated to the specific family of distributions. We finally provide the Pareto and the Generalized Pareto as examples of families which verify that such risk measures take finite values.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2. On Quantum Risk Theory</title><p>The elementaries of quantum finance denote that any asset is a quantum particle, whose changes in position x correspond to the changes of its value. The changes of its value are decomposed into the kinetic energy of the particle, which is the total effort of the investors to change its value. For this reason, the mass m of this particle, denotes the total number of investors which are involved into investements to this asset. On the other hand, the dynamic energy denotes the changes of the value whose cause is some exogenous factor being a function of the position x of the quantum particle. This is the meaning of the function of the potential<inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/5-1490338x35.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>. Hence the one-dimensional Schr&#246;dinger Equation (S.E.)</p><disp-formula id="scirp.63475-formula434"><graphic  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/5-1490338x36.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><p>of the Hamiltonian’s Spectrum, denotes that the set of the possible Asset Monetary Values is the set of the Hamiltonian’s Spectrum (<inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/5-1490338x37.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>denotes the Planck Constant). We also remind that</p><disp-formula id="scirp.63475-formula435"><graphic  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/5-1490338x38.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><p>which denotes that any wave-function is a squarely-integrable function. By the term wave-function we mean any solution of the above time-independent Schr&#246;dinger Equation. Every wave-function <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/5-1490338x39.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> corresponds to a probability density<inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/5-1490338x39.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula><inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/5-1490338x40.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>, or a positive multiple of<inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/5-1490338x39.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula><inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/5-1490338x40.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula><inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/5-1490338x41.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>. A linear combination of Hamiltonians with continuous spectra, corresponds to a portfolio of assets. This portfolio may include the identity operator, which denotes the riskless asset. In classical Quantum Theory, wave-functions of the Continuous Spectrum are not squarely integrable, because they probably do not correspond to a real quantum physical phenomenon, while we indicated that Hamiltonian Operators do have this property, since the time-independent Hamiltonian is self- adjoint. In this paper, we further investigate which is the form of the potential function, under which the S.E. is solvable under precific distribution functions provided by the wave-functions. We also notice that in this case, the Hamiltonian is self-adjoint and symmetric, since we refer to the time-independent Hamiltonian, or else we have that, in terms of brackets</p><disp-formula id="scirp.63475-formula436"><graphic  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/5-1490338x42.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><p>In this paper we prove an essential Theorem on what it may be called Quantum Risk Theory.

We also present the Pareto Distri- butions and the Generalized Pareto Distributions as Examples of applications of the previous Theorem. The mass of the quantum particle may be estimated from the volume of the investors to the certain asset, in the financial case. Of course, the historical data―which, in the financial case they take a daily form―about this volume have to be fitted to some distributions. For this reason, one of the well-known non-parametric tests, like Kolmogorov-Smirnov ( [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.63475-ref6">6</xref>] ) or Anderson-Darling ( [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.63475-ref7">7</xref>] ), may be used. In the sequel, random data from the fitted distribution may be produced and the Monte-Carlo estimator of the mean volume of investors has to be compared to the historical estimation of the mean volume. This model may be also interpreted as a model of insurance, especially in cases where there is not any other well-known mathematical model for the premium calculation, for example in naval insurance. This interpretation is actually a more adequate motivation, since we refer to heavy-tail distribution families like the Pareto and the Genaralized Pareto. In this case the mass of the quantum particle may denote the volume of the insurance contracts of a certain type adopted by the insurance company.

Conclusion</title><p>The conclusion of the paper is that the notion of risk measure may be extended in a quantum finance framework, as far as it may be applied on a time-independent Hamiltonian operator and specifically on its continuous spec- trum. The value of such a risk measure is finite and in the case of Pareto and Generalized Pareto distributions is negative. This risk model may be applied either in the case of reinsurance pricing, or in the case where no other known model is developed like naval insurance contracts.</p></sec><sec id="s6"><title>Cite this paper</title><p>Christos E.Kountzakis,Maria P.Koutsouraki, (2016) On Quantum Risk Modelling.
