Roadmap for AI and Quantum

Building Regulatory Maturity: From Quantum Security to Quantum Advantage

GFTN InsightsRoundtable Room 3, Ground FloorOpen
About this session

To date, regulatory and industry engagement on quantum computing has largely focused on quantum security, with meaningful progress made in raising awareness, developing transition plans, and beginning the migration to post-quantum cryptography.

This roundtable reflects on that momentum and asks a forward-looking question:

What can the quantum security journey teach us about the regulator's role in enabling innovation and quantum applications in financial services?

Starting with the lens of GFIN’s Project Otto – Quantum Maturity for Regulators, this discussion will bring together regulators and industry to:
- Reflect on what has worked well in progressing quantum security from awareness to early implementation
- Discuss the regulatory tools, approaches, and mechanisms that have supported firm engagement and investment
- Explore how these lessons can be applied to support firms in experimenting with, investing in, and ultimately deploying quantum-enabled use cases
- Consider how regulators can balance risk mitigation with enabling growth, ensuring markets are prepared for both the challenges and opportunities quantum technologies present

By connecting lessons and experiences from quantum security to emerging quantum advantage, this roundtable aims to support more coordinated, proactive, and innovation-oriented regulatory approaches to quantum computing in financial services.
