• 0–2 yearsPlausible

  If the benchmark indicates competitive fraud-detection performance, this could prompt a bank or payment processor to pilot quantum kernel methods on cloud quantum hardware for transaction anomaly screening within two years.

  Fraud detection has high economic value and established classical ML pipelines; quantum kernel methods are compatible with near-term noisy devices and are accessible through cloud services, lowering integration barriers.
