Quantum Leap in Finance

Quantum computing is poised to transform how we process information, making today’s most powerful computers look slow by comparison. Unlike classical computers that rely on binary bits—either 0 or 1—quantum computers use qubits, which can exist in multiple states at once.

In this episode of the Asia Tech Podcast, Dipen Mehta, EVP & GM for APAC at Softserve, breaks down why quantum computing is a game-changer.

Some of the topics that Dipen covered in detail include:

• Quantum computing introduces qubits, which can exist in multiple states simultaneously—a phenomenon called superposition. This single feature allows quantum machines to process vastly more information at once, enabling computation on a previously unimaginable scale.
• We are still in the early innings of quantum’s commercial, but while we are early, it is inevitable.
• Quantum won’t replace classical computing—it will complement it. Each paradigm has its strengths, and early applications will likely leverage hybrid approaches.
• Artificial intelligence and quantum computing are on a collision course.
• Combining AI with quantum opens the door to what Mehta calls "real-time, hyper-personalized financial services."
