We are living in the second quantum revolution, where a new technological field with disruptive potential emerges. Quantum technology is advancing rapidly, creating entirely new opportunities across industries in computing, sensing, and communications. Rather than replacing classical computing, quantum computing is developing alongside it, and many organizations are already investing in building their quantum capabilities to unlock business value and gain a competitive edge.
In this webinar recording, you will hear why OP Pohjola has established a dedicated quantum research centre to investigate the possibilities of quantum computing and AI in finance. The discussion covers real-world applications, emerging use cases, and forward-looking ideas, and what this second quantum revolution can mean for companies and industries.
Expert speakers are Professor Juha Muhonen from the University of Jyväskylä and Dr. Juha Vesanto, Director, Quantum and AI Research Centre at OP Pohjola.
From this webinar, you will take away:
- Insights into the current state of quantum technology and how it is developing alongside classical computing.
- An understanding of why leading organizations are investing in quantum capabilities and what business value they are pursuing.
- Real-world examples and emerging use cases of quantum computing and AI in the financial sector.
- Forward-looking perspectives on what the second quantum revolution can mean for your company and industry.
Speakers
Professor Juha Muhonen leads the Hybrid Quantum Technologies in Silicon group at the University of Jyväskylä. The group studies how quantum computer components and quantum sensors could be realized using silicon, which is the current material basis for all modern information technologies. On the fundamental side, the group aims to probe the possible size and time limits of quantum phenomena. Professor Muhonen also teaches the Introduction to Quantum Computing course, is involved in several collaboration projects with the quantum industry, and works as an advisor for companies in the field.
Dr. Juha Vesanto is heading the Quantum and AI Research Centre at OP Pohjola. A data scientist by background, he has been building OP’s AI capabilities since 2018, including setting up the citizen data science community, data mesh, and OP’s responsible AI practices. Most recently, his focus has been on future technologies, such as quantum computing and advanced AI.
