Building a Quantum team in the financial industry
summary
Moody's builds a dedicated quantum team over two years, launches a quantum for finance platform and training called Quantum for Quant, and runs production pilots using quantum-inspired methods on classical hardware. The claim: no practical quantum advantage today, but RSA-size breaks require roughly 1 million logical qubits, so action is defensive and strategic. Internal survey finds 73% of banks see no bottleneck while 82% call the sector immature, so the team targets specific pain points like CVaR, regulatory calculations and integrated risk.
