      Where quantum in finance is tested, not just discussed

      Finance is ground zero for quantum technology. It relies on the encryption quantum could break, and it faces the complex calculations quantum is built to solve. Black Swan Summit Australia brings the whole quantum finance chain together in Perth, from security and testing to applications and policy.

      Five impact pillars

      The 2027 agenda is built around five questions that move financial services from quantum readiness to results.
