Quantum Computing for Financial Services.
For a financial institution, quantum computing is a risk you must understand and manage — and an opportunity you can capture and measure.
Quantum Risk
Quantum computers will break today’s encryption — and data harvested now can be decrypted later. Risk registers, processes, and security architecture need a quantum-safe path. We help you find yours: lean and efficient.
In its Guidance 05/2026, FINMA recommends that Swiss institutions draw up a PQC roadmap by mid-2027 at the latest.
Explore PQC →Quantum Opportunity
New quantum methods for optimization, fraud detection, and classification are maturing. Is quantum relevant for you — today, or in the years ahead? Find out the lean way: your team, your data, and the best available quantum algorithms for finance. Low effort, a few months — and you decide whether to go further, and at what pace.

▶ Watch: Agentic quantum computing by qubit-lab.ch (4 min)Services
Practical quantum guidance rather than abstract technology talk, with the strongest focus on financial services and regulated environments. The offerings form the Lean Quantum Exploration Process: staged steps to a go/no-go decision — enter at any step — plus a separate post-quantum cryptography track.
Step 1 · Management entry point
Quantum Advisory
Structured support for organizations exploring realistic quantum use cases, PoCs, decision paths, and internal next steps.
Advisory offerings →Step 2 · Enable the team
Quantum Capability Kickstart
Five interactive sessions for quant, risk, data science, innovation, and technology teams, focused on quantum fundamentals, coding, simple circuits, algorithm workflows, and practical experimentation.
Kickstart format →Step 3 · Explore on your own data
RQP Exploration
Six weeks of team access to the RQP suite: test your own candidate use cases on your own data — every result checked against an exact classical referee.
The RQP suite →Quantum Risk · separate track
PQC Readiness
Practical support for post-quantum cryptography awareness, exposure visibility, stakeholder alignment, and readiness planning.
PQC offerings →Evidence, not promises
Every quantum claim we make is benchmarked against an exact classical referee — and published. Three sample runs, numbers unedited:
0.0%
QAOA gap to the certified optimum
78-asset portfolio, 8.4 million possible allocations evaluated exactly — the quantum result matched the proven optimum, bit for bit.
Every rule priced
S&P 500 with 20 instruments
Certified minimum tracking error — and the certified cost of every mandate rule, priced by re-solving the optimum without it.
“Not yet”
The verdict we shipped when classical won
On an energy-price dataset our own product recommended staying classical — measured, printed, and monitored until the answer flips.

Physicist and senior transformation professional with leadership experience across UBS, Credit Suisse, and SIX. Years of delivering regulated change in large financial institutions shaped a simple conviction: broad exploratory programs stall, while small fixed-scope steps that end in a clear decision move organizations forward. qubit-lab.ch is built on that conviction.

3rd-eyes analytics provides goal-based investment advice to financial institutions in Switzerland. Together we explored quantum approaches to core–satellite portfolio optimization — related to the goal-based, liability-aware variant used in their optimization engine — using QAOA and the RQP Suite. The joint work produced a quantum-inspired, classically executable alternative now being tested for their pipeline — and the same problem formulation can move to quantum hardware as it matures.

Quant team briefing · 2026
Invited quantum computing briefing for a quant team: quantum fundamentals, algorithm workflows, and a realistic assessment of near-term applicability in finance — no hype, concrete enough for practitioners to act on.
“An excellent introduction — especially valuable because so few people in our field are familiar with the topic yet.”
Selected partners
qubit-lab.ch works with selected partners to support practical quantum computing enablement, enterprise technology perspectives, market access, and post-quantum cryptography readiness.
“Very happy to have qubit-lab.ch as our quantum partner — technically rigorous, refreshingly free of quantum hype, and reliable in front of clients.”
Publicly documented quantum initiatives at banks and financial institutions, 2018–2026 — the opportunity track (from portfolio optimization to fraud analytics) and the risk track (quantum-safe security), mapped by use case (rows) and method (columns); each tile shows the year(s) of publication. The pace has picked up markedly since 2025.
