Briefings

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) plans to establish a Quantum Experimentation Group in Q1 2027 to test quantum machine learning for fraud detection using an FCA synthetic dataset. Registration for firms, technology providers, and research labs is open until 31 December 2026. The group aims to explore practical applications, understand technology barriers, and inform regulation, with a focus on early experimentation to identify meaningful differences in financial services.

Key points

• The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) will launch a Quantum Experimentation Group in the first quarter of 2027 to examine quantum computing applications in financial services.
• Participants can register their interest in joining the initiative by 31 December 2026 to explore practical uses of quantum computing in financial services.

Context

This initiative represents the first of its kind for a regulator, building on the FCA's existing research into the long-term potential of quantum computing in financial services. It addresses the barrier of data access by utilizing an FCA synthetic dataset for initial testing.

Limitations

Evidence is limited to the FCA press release and insider brief; specific outcomes, participant numbers, or detailed technical capabilities are not provided.
