Quantum Computing and the Future of Finance: Exploring How Quantum Technology Impacts Financial Analysis and Forecasting

The aim of this research is to investigate the effects of quantum computing on financial analysis and forecast accuracy. Given the significant increase in the volume of financial data and the complexity of financial decision-making, the need to use new technologies such as quantum computing is increasingly felt. The research collected data from 100 financial analysts, researchers, and IT professionals, as well as conducted in-depth interviews with twenty experts. The findings show that 70% of respondents emphasize that quantum computing can effectively increase the accuracy of financial forecasts. However, significant challenges have been identified, such as high costs and the need for complex infrastructure to implement the technology. Additionally, 35% of professionals express concerns about data security and privacy. Finally, this paper offers recommendations that include investing in human resource development and establishing new security protocols to best exploit the potential opportunities of quantum computing. This research can help better understand the impact of quantum computing innovations on the future of the financial industry and provide practical solutions to address emerging challenges. Also, more detailed studies on the social and economic impacts of this technology on financial markets and how it interacts with other technologies could enrich the results of this research.
