The convergence of Quantum with AI

National Quantum Computing Centre

The National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) is a UK national laboratory funded by UK Research and Innovation through EPSRC and based at the Harwell Campus in Oxfordshire. It is deliberately hardware-agnostic: instead of building its own qubits, it funds testbed systems with partners spanning superconducting, trapped-ion, neutral-atom and photonic approaches, and provides UK academics and companies with access to those machines. Its programme also covers benchmarking, error-correction research, and training for the UK quantum workforce.

OQC, Citi, and NQCC Evaluate Quantum-Compressed PINNs for Financial Derivative Pricing Workflows

Oxford Quantum Circuits, Citi, and the UK's National Quantum Computing Centre completed a joint study on Quantum-compressed Physics-Informed Neural Networks (QPINNs) for pricing financial derivatives. The evaluation found that QPINNs could reduce model complexity while preserving pricing accuracy. The work targeted workflows relevant to Citi's derivatives business.

OutlookPlausible

Within two years, Citi could begin piloting QPINN-based pricing models on OQC's superconducting hardware for internal risk analytics on complex derivatives, if the compression technique scales beyond the study's test cases.
