Project description
New software offers financial companies a competitive edge with quantum computing
Quantum computing will offer a new way of solving complex problems beyond the scope of modern computers in a wide range of fields, including finance, logistics, medicine and cryptography. The EU-funded SINGULARITY project is supporting Spanish-based company Multiverse Computing S.L. in developing software for financial companies to help them gain an edge with quantum computing. The newly developed software will enable financial professionals to run efficient quantum algorithms on any quantum computer from a simple spreadsheet. Financial professionals will be able to address highly complex problems – such as portfolio optimisation and fraud detection – without having any prior knowledge of quantum computers.
Objective
Quantum computers are reaching a scale where they can start delivering value. The quantum software market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 42% over the next five years to reach €1.42 billion by 2027. McKinsey highlighted finance as the earliest high-impact application of quantum computing. We have been pioneers in this space. We authored one of the seminal papers in the field. Then we developed a quantum software toolkit for finance, and results from beta testing with leading financial institutions brought us to the limelight. Now, thought leaders like McKinsey, The Economist, BCG, and Forbes point at Multiverse as a leading firm in quantum finance. Quantum computing is a strategic technology for Europe. Anglo-Saxon firms dominate both quantum and finance. Yet, Multiverse is leading this race. However, we must act decisively to keep this position. With the EIC support, we will keep the lead and materialise the promise of quantum for financial applications.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
