Researchers on both sides of the Atlantic—including a trio of Dutch banks—believe quantum computing can help banks produce quicker, more accurate results in regulatory stress tests.

In the Netherlands, ABN Amro, ING and Rabobank are jointly exploring quantum technology, with stress testing one of the possible use cases. US-based quantum developer Zapata Computing, meanwhile, is seeking a patent that applies the technology to the Federal Reserve’s twin-track domestic testing regime: the
