Light-cone distribution amplitudes(LCDAs)are essential nonperturbative quantities for theoretical predictions of exclusive highenergy processes in quantum chromodynamics(QCD).We demonstrate the prospect of calculating LCDAs on a quantum computer by applying a recently proposed quantum algorithm,with staggered fermions,to the simulation of the LCDA in the(1+1)-dimensional Nambu-Jona-Lasinio(NJL)model on classical *** agreement between the result from the classical simulation of the quantum algorithm and that from exact diagonalization justifies the proposed quantum *** find that the resulting LCDA in the NJL model exhibits features shared with the LCDAs obtained from the QCD.

This paper investigates the dependence of the exchange rate of onshore Renminbi(RMB)and offshore RMB against US dollar(i.e., CNY and CNH) based on copula models. Eleven different copulas were selected to construct multivariate distribution and estimate the value-at-risk for RMB exchange rate. Empirical results show that time-invariant Student-t copula is the best model to fit the sample data. The positive upper and lower dependence indicates that CNY and CNH series tend to move in the same direction. Moreover, the dependence between the two exchange rates is asymmetric,which means that traditional models, such as Pearson's correlation, are inappropriate to measure the correlations between these markets. The best fitted model is chosen to estimate the financial risk,which can help business practitioners and policymakers track risk evolution and make good decisions.
