In the modern world, the financial sector faces a wide range of extraordinary events, from market shocks and geopolitical tensions to pandemics and cyberattacks. These diverse challenges significantly impact banks. Recently, particular attention has been drawn to the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing (QC) technologies on the stability of the financial system. This article analyzes the potential areas of impact of quantum technologies on the financial sphere in general and the resilience of financial institutions in particular.It's determined that quantum technologies can simultaneously pose both threats and new opportunities. Specifically, the article analyzes the potential of quantum technologies to break existing cryptographic algorithms that protect the confidential data of financial institutions' clients. This threat is exacerbated by the possibility of "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks, where malicious actors intercept data today with the intention of decrypting it in the future. This presents challenges and threats for online/mobile banking, payment operations, and corporate communications. Among the positive impacts of quantum technologies on banking, the article highlights improved financial risk assessment, particularly enhanced accuracy in stress testing, portfolio management, and derivatives pricing, by solving problems inaccessible to classical computing. The potential of quantum machine learning for fraud detection is also noted. Attention is given to the financial sector's response to these challenges. Initiatives for developing quantum-resistant (post-quantum) cryptography are considered as the primary method for mitigating the risks associated with the proliferation of quantum computing, along with new cryptographic protocols and quantum key distribution as a new opportunity to enhance security. The article emphasizes the responsibility of central banks in forming quantum-readiness strategies, including investments in post-quantum cryptography, expertise development, and the adaptation of regulatory frameworks. The conclusion drawn is that although the immediate benefits of quantum technologies may be modest, their long-term transformative potential for the financial sector is immense.
As an attempt to fight sophisticated financial crimes, US banks are getting into new technologies on this front, and quantum computing can be viewed as a game changer in this area. Unmatched computational power is available through quantum technology for use in fraud detection that is ahead of its time, real-time transaction monitoring, and quantum resistant encryption. Quantum computing, therefore, offers solutions for financial institutions that are currently facing threats of cyber-attacks, insider fraud, and compliance to various regulations with its quantum enhanced artificial intelligence (QAI) and quantum safe encryption. The adoption of the quantum computing, however, is met with a great number of challenges, such as high implementation costs, a shortage of qualified staff and constantly changing cybersecurity threats. Quantum powered cyber-attacks requires transition from the classical cryptography to the post quantum cryptography to protect sensitive banking data. Regulatory compliance is still a major issue even for banks, and the goal for the industry is to collaborate between banks, tech firms, and government agencies in order to create industry wide security standards. For US banks to prepare for this quantum powered future, they will need to spend in research, develop strategic partnerships, and train their cybersecurity professionals.

Quantum computing plays a crucial role in enhancing risk management across several industries. In contrast to conventional linear algorithms employed in risk management, quantum computing possesses the capability to process extensive quantities of data and execute intricate computations at astonishing velocities. This facilitates managers in acquiring a more comprehensive comprehension of risk elements. Financial modeling is an area in which quantum computing can be effectively utilized for risk management purposes. Quantum computing can be employed by managers to monitor market patterns, assess investment opportunities, and forecast financial results. This can lead to the implementation of well-informed decision-making processes and a decrease in potential risks. Health risk management is a crucial aspect of the healthcare industry. Consequently, the attainment of improved patient outcomes and the reduction of healthcare expenditures can be realized. In general, quantum computing possesses the capacity to assist managers in the realm of risk management through its ability to facilitate more accurate and comprehensive data analysis, expedite the process of decision-making, and enable the simulation of intricate scenarios. This enables managers to proactively identify and address potential hazards, leading to improved corporate performance.
Quantum computing is set to transform various industries. Among them, the financial sector is especially vulnerable due to its reliance on encryption for securing transactions, customer data and proprietary financial models. Quantum computing threatens financial institutions by breaking current cryptographic methods, making them more vulnerable than other industries. This paper examines the potential impact of quantum computing on financial data security and focuses on the challenges and opportunities it presents. Quantum computers can solve complex mathematical problems more efficiently than classical computers. They pose a significant threat to current cryptographic systems that safeguard financial data. To mitigate this risk, financial institutions must adopt quantum-resistant encryption to maintain data integrity and privacy. On the other hand, quantum computing offers opportunities for enhancing financial security through advanced algorithms and improved risk assessment models. The paper also explores ethical and regulatory considerations, emphasizing the need for proactive measures to align technological advancements with societal values and legal frameworks. Addressing these challenges while leveraging opportunities will enable the financial industry to navigate the quantum era securely.
Quantum computers are expected to surpass the computational capabilities of classical computers during this decade and have transformative impact on numerous industry sectors, particularly finance. In fact, finance is estimated to be the first industry sector to benefit from quantum computing, not only in the medium and long terms, but even in the short term. This survey paper presents a comprehensive summary of the state of the art of quantum computing for financial applications, with particular emphasis on stochastic modeling, optimization, and machine learning, describing how these solutions, adapted to work on a quantum computer, can potentially help to solve financial problems, such as derivative pricing, risk modeling, portfolio optimization, natural language processing, and fraud detection, more efficiently and accurately. We also discuss the feasibility of these algorithms on near-term quantum computers with various hardware implementations and demonstrate how they relate to a wide range of use cases in finance. We hope this article will not only serve as a reference for academic researchers and industry practitioners but also inspire new ideas for future research.
This research aims at determining the use of quantum computing on financial structures, mainly pertaining to portfolio, derivatives, Monte Carlo assessments, and risk analyses. The problems appear within the context of the continually development of the financial industry where the usage of the classic methods when solving the problems associated with large data set and the application of complex models can be slow. There are two types of quantum computations: the first is a classical computation that uses an approach very close to a Turing machine; the second is quantum parallelism that enables a system to compute an unlimited number of possibilities simultaneously and will not suffer from these limitations. The study points out that there are several application areas where quantum algorithms provide solutions better than classical ones, for instance, in cutting computational time for portfolio, and providing better solution in derivative pricing. Applying quantum algorithms, financial systems can provide increased precision and liabilities management, as well as improved decision making. The paper also discusses future applications of quantum computing in fraud and security detection, which would both significantly benefit from quantum methods. A still experimental field, the optimisation study does show that Quantum could bring significant changes in the techniques used by the financial industry to address its most critical issues
