SAN SEBASTIÁN, SPAIN, August 23, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Multiverse Computing today announced it has been selected by chemical company BASF, headquartered in Germany, as a partner for the development of quantum software for one of the multinational’s commercially relevant financial applications.
More specifically, Multiverse will leverage its position as the leading quantum computing company for the financial services sector to develop models for foreign exchange (forex) trading optimization. The project will focus only on trading between Euros and U.S. dollars in this initial phase.
“BASF is a company which has been working to adopt quantum-based solutions for some time. In many ways they are a pioneer in this space, on top of being a world-class business,” said Enrique Lizaso Olmos, CEO of Multiverse Computing. “This makes today’s news even more gratifying because we have been selected by a corporation which has an in-depth knowledge of the quantum computing industry. We view this as a validation of our work up to this point.”
The entire project is scheduled to run over a 9-month period and started in January 2022. The key findings and a final technical paper will be delivered towards the end of the project.
“Quantum computing is a promising field which has developed rapidly over recent years. Multiverse has a strong focus and expertise in quantum computing in the financial industry, and BASF wanted to start a joint project in order to explore what we can do together,” said Dr. Abhishek Awasthi, member of the Next Generation Computing team at BASF and working with Multiverse on this project. “In our conversations with Multiverse, we believe they can offer a significant advantage in terms of optimization of forex transactions.”
Multiverse’s Singularity toolkit for financial institutions is the company’s signature product. It is designed to deliver the power of quantum computing to financial professionals.
