X9’s Quantum Computing Information Page
Overview
X9 is committed to: 1) tracking the development of technology required to build large scale quantum computers; 2) identifying the companies, universities and countries that have the largest and most advanced functioning quantum computers; 3) following research into methods to minimize or eliminate avenues of attack by quantum computers on the financial services industry; 4) determining what actions the financial services industry should be taking to protect against attacks from large scale quantum computers; and 5) periodically publish reports on all of these efforts.

The X9 Quantum Computing Risk Study Group started work to update the X9 Quantum Risk Whitepaper in 2021. The updated whitepaper along with corporate guidelines for addressing the quantum risk are expected to be published in the fall of 2022. As of July 2022, the group is in the final stages of completing the update. If you would like to participate in this work, please contact X9 staff (admin@x9.org) for information.
