Insider Brief
Crédit Agricole CIB and Pasqal have signed a strategic partnership to accelerate the industrial deployment of quantum computing for capital markets, targeting initial production use cases by 2028.
The partnership builds on collaboration that began in 2019, with previous projects exploring quantum algorithms for counterparty credit risk measurement and portfolio optimization.
The next phase will focus on quantum-inspired algorithms, quantum experimentation on Pasqal’s neutral-atom systems, and hybrid quantum-classical workflows for monitoring capital reserve consumption and risk-weighted assets.
Press release – Crédit Agricole CIB, the financing and investment banking arm of Crédit Agricole Group, and Pasqal, a global leader in neutral atom quantum computing, announced the signing of a strategic partnership to accelerate the transition from quantum research to operational deployment in capital markets activities.
