While there’s debate around exactly when a reliable quantum computer of sufficient size will be able to break some of the most widely used cryptosystems, the time to build defences is now - we cannot take any chances.
With the promise of unimaginable computing power, a global race for quantum supremacy is raging. Who will be first to harness this new technological force, and what will they do with it?
HSBC pilots quantum-safe technology for tokenised gold
HSBC has successfully trialled the first application of quantum-secure technology for buying and selling tokenised physical gold. This achievement marks the latest step by HSBC in pioneering the protection of critical applications from potential future quantum computing attacks.
In the latest episode of the What the FinTech? podcast, we’re joined by Dr Philip Intallura, Head of Quantum Technologies at HSBC, to learn more about quantum computing and the impact the growth and maturation of the technology could have on financial services.
In this interview, Philip Intallura, Global Head of Quantum Technologies at HSBC, explains how HSBC is pioneering the way in adopting quantum-safe practices, driving its commitment to innovation.
