London-headquartered Standard Chartered works on quantum computing as a data partner in UK consortia and through a venture of its own. It belonged to the Rigetti UK-led consortium that set up one of the country's first quantum computers in Abingdon from 2020, working with the University of Edinburgh on quantum machine learning for finance. From January 2024 it gave datasets and classical benchmarks to an 18-month Innovate UK feasibility study with Rigetti, AWS and Imperial College London, with price-prediction results reported in November 2025. In January 2026 its SC Ventures arm and Fujitsu set out plans for Qubitra Technologies, a London joint venture for quantum fraud detection and trading apps.
Founded in 1969, Standard Chartered is a company in London focused on quantum finance. It is a partner in 1 UK project: Quantum Computing Platform for NISQ Era Commercial Applications.
