Quantum technologies could become an essential technology for financial services.
Quantum computing, with its ability to process complex calculations, has emerging use cases across financial services, risk management, portfolio optimisation, and fraud mitigation. Financial institutions who are able to leverage this technology early will gain crucial first mover advantage across these areas. To start on this journey, institutions will need to develop the right skills, identify the right use cases, and build new partnerships.
This session, as part of techUK’s quantum readiness event series, aims to show how financial institutions are starting to prepare for this advantage today. This is an opportunity to hear from industry leaders who are taking this journey, and the challenges they have faced as they begin to adopt quantum.
While not the primary objective of this event, it will also touch upon how to build quantum resilience, which is a primary concern for financial institutions. It will hope to dispel common misconceptions about quantum security, and emerging solutions to address this threat
What it techUK’s quantum readiness series?
As quantum technologies move from concept, development and towards deployment, it is critical that the UK’s leading industries and sectors are ready to realise the potential these new technologies can offer.
As such, techUK will be hosting a series of events and webinars showcasing how these technologies are starting to deliver impact across critical industries and sectors in the UK. We will spotlight real-world impact, emphasizing the imminent need for market readiness.
