HSBC is one of the organisations that has been working on quantum computing for several years. Discussing the return on investment opportunity, and how quantum computing can be used to build more optimised financial models, Phil Intallura, global head of quantum technologies at HSBC, said: "When you breakdown the opportunities, financial services is one of the biggest beneficiaries." As Intallura points out, banks are always looking for a better financial model: "There's one thing that catalyses commercial organisations more than anything else, and that's confidence.

Quantum computing systems have a serious problem of decoherence (disruption of the relationship between processes and elements). We offer a very unusual solution to this problem. Since September of last year (2024), our research group at AI SYNT (a small Canadian technology startup) has been conducting experiments on combining local neural networks into structures with linear and parabolic extrapolation.

The best quantum machines today have one major weakness, however — they are incredibly error-prone. That's why the field is racing to develop and implement quantum error-correction (QEC) schemes to alleviate the technology's inherent unreliability.
