The quantum horizon: Exploring the next wave of research and capabilities poised to transform the insurance industry

Quantum computing is moving from theoretical promise toward practical exploration across financial services and insurance. This session examines emerging quantum capabilities and research that could reshape complex risk analysis and optimization, security, and data-driven decision-making. Through live demonstrations of quantum portfolio optimization and quantum-enabled cryptographic exploration, the session will illustrate both the business opportunities and the security implications of the quantum era. The discussion will also explore how insurers can begin preparing today for a future where quantum and classical computing work together.
