finQbit

finQbit's market risk modelling platform uses GPUs and quantum computing to enable quantitative analysts without quantum computing expertise to create models as they would on classical computers. More than $5T USD is traded daily on the OTC derivatives market, so every percent of accuracy improvement matters. However, market risk management involves complex simulation challenges, which classical computing struggles to handle. finQbit develops more optimal algorithms and can train risk models 10x faster than competitors.
