Check out this study into Finnish finance sector's efforts on #quantum. Quite sad that only 10% have so far done tests with the technology. (Probably most readers could even name them.) We think it should be around 100% at this point. Article in Finnish.

How do you feel about the UK proposed timeline for PQC adoption? Our business interest is certainly that things would happen faster, but at least the initial assessment and plan should not wait for 3 years from now. Recording attacks happen today - you need to know now if you care.

Lack of abstractions is the main deficiency in the quantum computation stack. While breakthroughs in building these abstractions may not seems as ground shattering as qubit improvements, we believe these are critical to progress to realizing value. Networking operating system presents such a step.

Quanscient is right in noting how the right approach to applying quantum in an existing problem might not be to just run the existing calculation on a quantum computer. It rarely is. (Quanscient is one of the companies we've helped along the way.)

Algorithmiq's story highlights how immature the abstraction layers in quantum computing are. In essence, even a vertically focused startup is "forced" to provide a "full stack" solution to quantum software handling all kinds of infrastructure topics.

This year has again been very much just probono work on research projects. There's, for example, one introductory book coming out in a few weeks that we helped to create. Let's try to get a bit more active on this platform to keep everyone posted on our developments.

A "mechanical qubit" that requires superconductors to be used, is like a horse drawn carriage that requires a jet engine. Impressive feat nevertheless with scant practical usages foreseeable at this stage. www.science.org/content/arti...

Atom Computing has many interesting features in the system they are building, but the massive qubit count isn't maybe the most important one, especially as customers can't access it yet. We also do get that demonstrating scalability of production needed a lot. arstechnica.com/science/2023...

And the of interest to many in the industry, like consumer banks but not really directly finance, are the QML topics.

Well, the other areas we've seen discussed are portfolio optimization and its analogues. Sometimes implemented as adiabatic.

Unitary Zero Space @unitaryzerospace.com · 22/10/2023

We haven't looked at that in any meaningful detail, but it seems to be a very important finding. Especially given the reliance on speeding up MC as the almost only thing in finance. Has it faced any pushback?

000

Unitary Zero Space @unitaryzerospace.com · 22/10/2023

We'd maybe approach it so that the whole QMC is "just one thing". Otherwise, we are fooling ourselves as we'd be thinking about quantum finance applications when, in fact, we are just listing MC applications in finance.
