Hybrid Financial Systems: Why the Future of Finance Is Being Built Between Classical and Quantum Computing
Amy Kwalwasser Amy Kwalwasser is a New York City-based quantum computing specialist focused on the application of quantum algorithms in quantitative finance. The financial industry has always depended on advances in technology. From the introduction of electronic trading systems to the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning, each new wave of computing has expanded the ability of financial institutions to process information, manage risk, and make decisions. Today, another technological shift is beginning to take shape. Quantum computing is attracting attention across industries, particularly in finance, where complex calculations and optimization problems often push classical computing systems to their limits. However, the future of finance is unlikely to be powered entirely by quantum computers. Instead, experts increasingly believe that hybrid financial systems—combining classical and quantum computing—will define the next stage of innovation. What Are Hybrid Financial ...
