Quantum computers are poised to revolutionize all areas of science and technology. In this talk I will give a basic overview of the field, and how it will affect the FinTech industry. I will begin by introducing quantum computing and the state of the field. I then focus on two primary applications in finance: machine learning and encryption/cybersecurity. Quantum machine learning may produce exponentially faster trading and optimization algorithms, and is already being implemented by a number of major financial institutions. Similarly, quantum encryption is being deployed to defend against threats current and future.
