Although still in its infancy, this emerging field is showing great promise in benchmark tests on processing speed, and it holds great potential for the financial industry in computationally intensive applications. These include derivatives analysis, valuation of complex instruments and various forms of optimization. Vern Brownell , CEO of D-Wave Systems and an industry leader in the field of quantum computing, will be speaking at Global Derivatives in Budapest. In this pre-conference interview with Institutional Investor Journals , Brownell outlines the current uses for quantum computing and his vision for the role of quantum computers in the finance industry.}, issn = {2329-0196}, URL = {https://pa.pm-research.com/content/4/1/1.7}, eprint = {https://pa.pm-research.com/content/4/1/1.7.full.pdf}, journal = {Practical Applications} }
