Mumbai: As quantum computing moves from theory to application, the RBI has constituted an expert committee for quantum-secure and adaptive financial ecosystem to assess how a technology that can solve complex financial problems can also threaten existing cryptographic standards.Quantum technology is different from regular computing because it can handle multiple possibilities at the same time. It can solve complex financial problems, including portfolio optimization, risk assessment, and macroeconomic modeling. At the same time, it creates risks, particularly the potential to weaken some existing cryptographic standards.The committee will be organized by Professor Anil Prabhakar, Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Madras.
