Quantum computing in finance – the real potential behind the headlines

You have probably seen the headlines promising either massive potential for a new breed of financial products – or doom-and-gloom for current encryption. Quantum computing is a topic which divides opinion and challenges thinking at the same time. It appears as if fast promises – or threats – are often announced on a flimsy foundation.
