We’ve teamed up with IBM to deliver a world-first by exploring how quantum computing can boost algorithmic bond trading. In our joint research, which used the power of quantum alongside sophisticated classical computing methods, we saw an improvement of up to 34% in predicting how likely a trade would fill at a quoted price, compared with using classical methods alone. Ok, it might sound a bit complicated, but as Philip Intallura Ph.D, our Global Head of Quantum Technologies, puts it: “This is the single most important achievement of the HSBC quantum programme to date.” Find out more about how we’re embracing quantum technologies at HSBC. https://grp.hsbc/6045Abd8U
HSBC’s quantum breakthrough with IBM’s Heron improves bond trade predictions by 34%, a historic first for the financial market.
Well done HSBC! Great to see my former colleagues achieving this significant milestone. One use case down bond trading side, many more in the pipeline!
Great partnership to deliver value with quantum applications.

Stronger together! 💪
Amazing
Impressive that HSBC can explore quantum computing to predict trades, yet when it comes to transparency and governance, the bank hides behind “confidentiality” and refuses to release the agreement that guarantees medical coverage for 22 Lebanon retirees. BLOM Bank had the courage to confirm the SPA clearly, while HSBC continues to keep us suffering. Technology without humanity is meaningless.
