Quantum computing in finance

While the intricacies of quantum mechanics and the underlying principles of quantum computing are fascinating, a detailed exploration of these topics is beyond the scope of this book. Instead, our focus will remain squarely on the basics and on the practical implications and transformative potential of quantum computing within the financial industry, as well as its broader applications in high-performance computing (HPC) needs across various sectors. Our aim is to illuminate how these advanced technologies can address complex computational challenges, enhance data analysis capabilities, and ultimately drive innovation in financial systems and beyond. By concentrating on application rather than theory, we hope to provide valuable insights into the future of financial technology, where quantum computing plays a pivotal role in solving problems that were once deemed insurmountable.

Quantum computing emerges as a transformative force, distinct from traditional...
