Crédit Agricole CIB and Pasqal Advance Strategic Partnership Toward 2028 Quantum Production in Capital Markets
Crédit Agricole CIB and Pasqal have deepened their collaboration, originally started in 2019, to focus on industrializing quantum computing applications for capital markets. The partnership has identified priority use cases including counterparty credit default risk measurement and portfolio optimization where quantum approaches demonstrate advantages. A structured three-track roadmap will guide the deployment from quantum-inspired classical algorithms today to operational testing on neutral atom hardware and eventual large-scale hybrid systems by 2028.
