D-Wave and Nasdaq Verafin Announce Quantum Computing Collaboration for Financial Crime Detection
On August 3, 2026, D-Wave Quantum Inc. and Nasdaq Verafin announced a collaboration to evaluate the use of quantum computing for improving financial crime detection. The partnership will begin with the development of a proof-of-concept, aiming to expand to pilot applications for key anti-financial crime use cases. The collaboration will focus on using quantum-hybrid technology to support the development of predictive systems that can identify unusual behavioral patterns associated with fraud, scams, and money laundering. Nasdaq Verafin will explore the use of D-Wave's annealing quantum computing technology to uncover complex relationships across account activity, transaction patterns, and counterparty networks. This agreement provides an opportunity to explore quantum computing's potential in addressing some of the financial services sector's most complex problems.
