DAY TWO I Wednesday April 1

12:20 PM FIRESIDE CHAT: Practical applications of Quantum Tech in finance

• Are you seeing genuine, near-term practical applications of quantum computing in finance and where is the industry still overhyping its readiness?

• What internal use cases have progressed beyond experimentation into real modelling or simulation value?

• Quantum is often positioned as transformational for portfolio optimisation and complex risk modelling.

• How does quantum actually improve on classical Monte Carlo or optimisation techniques used today?

Are we talking incremental speed gains or fundamentally new modelling capabilities?

• What are the biggest operational or regulatory barriers to deploying quantum-powered models in production environments?

How do compliance, explainability, and model validation evolve in a quantum context?

• At what point does quantum shift from “innovation lab curiosity” to a true competitive differentiator in financial markets?

• Who stands to benefit first hedge funds, investment banks, asset managers, or fintech players and why?

Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Rafał.
