- Promising trial with IBM explored the ability of quantum computers to optimise bond trading
- Experiment delivered up to 34% improvement in predicting the probability of winning customer inquiries in the European corporate bond market
25 September 2025 -- HSBC today announced the world’s first-known empirical evidence of the potential value of current quantum computers for solving real-world problems in algorithmic bond trading.
Working with a team from IBM, HSBC leveraged an approach that utilised quantum and classical computing resources to deliver up to a 34 percent improvement in predicting how likely a trade would be filled at a quoted price, compared to common classical techniques used in the industry.
Algorithmic trading in the corporate bond market uses computer models to quickly and automatically price customer inquiries in a competitive bidding process. Algorithmic strategies incorporate real-time market conditions and risk estimates to automate this process, which allows traders to focus their attention on larger and more difficult trades. However, the highly complex nature of these factors is where the trial results showed an improvement using quantum computing techniques when compared to classical computers working alone using standard approaches.
