Investment Success Unlocked: Fujitsu’s Digital Annealer Makes it Possible

Fujitsu’s quantum-inspired solution, Digital Annealer, has been successfully used in a project with financial institution Kutxabank to improve the allocation of assets in its investment portfolios. The project, in collaboration with Quantum Mads and INNOLAB Bilbao, has concluded its first phase with excellent results and will move on to the second phase, which aims to optimize processes and add new functionalities by interacting quantitatively with the model in a real environment.

The solution has proven to be particularly effective at quickly finding optimal solutions when there are a huge number of possible combinations. Fujitsu has applied Digital Annealer in several areas, including asset allocation, finance, and logistics.

Aim to get to Optimal Solutions Faster in Finance

The goal is for Kutxabank to create a prototype capable of detecting needs and opportunities in a real environment, leading to the start-up of a solution based on the prototype. Digital Annealer can solve problems with up to 100,000 variables, making it the best in its class for quickly finding an optimal solution when there are many possible combinations. The project is set to be completed in December 2023.

While other quantum journalists focus on technical breakthroughs, Regina is tracking the money flows, policy decisions, and international dynamics that will actually determine whether quantum computing changes the world or becomes an expensive academic curiosity. She's spent enough time in government meetings to know that the most important quantum developments often happen in budget committees and international trade negotiations, not just research labs.
