UK financial services is at an inflection point. PQC migration timelines are tightening. The FCA is watching. And the institutions treating quantum as a future problem are already behind the ones treating it as a present architecture decision.
On 23 March, Fujitsu and The Quantum Insider are bringing together the people actually building quantum-ready financial infrastructure in the UK — not theorising about it.
We will dig beneath the industry buzz surrounding quantum in UK financial services.
We'll examine how quantum-inspired optimisation and Post-Quantum Cryptography are solving real-world challenges in risk modelling and security today — with practical insight from senior practitioners already doing it.
Key discussion points:
Hype vs. reality: The state of quantum in UK financial services in 2026.
Risk and infrastructure: How leading institutions are approaching PQC migration without derailing existing programmes.
Q-Day readiness: The governance and architecture decisions that separate early movers from late adopters.
Industry insight: How Standard Chartered is unlocking quantum value today.
