HSBC and Quantum
As one of the top two global leaders1 in quantum finance, we’re at the forefront of developing new capabilities.
We believe quantum computing will revolutionise financial services. Philip Intallura, Group Head of Quantum Technologies at HSBC, explains how we’re focusing on being ready to apply this transformative technology – and on safeguarding against any new cyber risks it could bring.
Engineering excellence
We collaborate with leading partners to explore quantum technologies, driving innovation and shaping the future of banking.
Find out how we used quantum computing to enhance algorithmic-trading in a world first trial in partnership with IBM.
Organisational readiness
Our in-house quantum experts are leading the industry with groundbreaking developments to enhance computational capabilities and cyber resilience, all whilst increasing quantum literacy across our workforce.
Building quantum defences
Protecting against future cyber threats is essential. Alejandro Montblanch is focused on safeguarding our systems through quantum key distribution.
Upskilling everyone is vital
William Shoosmith explains why it is critical that the whole workforce is equipped with the right skills for the quantum era.
Strategic partnerships
Our collaborations with industry leaders, academic institutions and quantum startups are crucial to remaining at the cutting edge of innovative developments.
HSBC Quantum Singapore Centre of Excellence
Read about how we’ve partnered with the Monetary Authority of Singapore and local banks in Singapore to advance quantum technologies in financial services.
Leading the way
We’re working with Quantinuum to apply quantum technologies and post-quantum cryptography to financial innovation, including the first application for tokenised physical gold.
Quantum secure finance
Together with BT and Toshiba, we became the first bank to join the London Quantum Secure Metro network and trial quantum key distribution to safeguard financial transactions and data.
Research and development
We are active contributors to scientific research in quantum technology, with a growing portfolio of intellectual property.
