In this 10-hour workshop, we will explore the transformational potential that quantum computing holds for the world of finance.
We will emphasize the computational advantages of quantum computers over classical ones by examining key quantum algorithms relevant to finance, as well as the enhanced security offered by quantum cryptography compared to classical cryptographic methods.
By the end of the workshop, participants will understand how quantum computing differs from classical computing and how its computational advantages can be applied to financial use cases.
In particular, participants will gain a clear understanding of the current state and challenges of quantum algorithms related to portfolio optimization, Monte Carlo simulation, and machine learning in finance.
Regarding data security, participants will learn why quantum computing poses a threat to current cryptographic systems and how post-quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution can mitigate these risks.
