AdvanThink, a European leader in payment fraud detection, has partnered with French photonic quantum computing startup Quandela to develop a proof-of-concept integrating quantum machine learning into industrial fraud detection workflows. The goal is to assess whether quantum-enhanced models can outperform current AI systems in terms of speed, accuracy, and resilience to sophisticated attacks.
The collaboration focuses on leveraging Quandela’s quantum machine learning algorithms—originally developed for credit risk assessment—in AdvanThink’s payment security infrastructure. A first demonstrator has already been completed, showing successful integration of Quandela’s technology into an industrial-grade pipeline.
Both companies aim to evaluate how quantum AI can augment fraud detection capabilities under real-world conditions, particularly as financial institutions seek faster and more energy-efficient solutions to combat evolving threats.
