Goldman Sachs

About

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is an American multinational investment bank and financial services company founded in 1869. It has invested in quantum computing since 2012, when it backed quantum hardware company D-Wave Systems, and it has developed quantum algorithms for options trading. The firm develops quantum algorithms for portfolio optimization, Monte Carlo simulations, derivatives pricing, and financial modeling, applying quantum computing to trading strategy optimization, risk management, market prediction, and quantitative finance. Goldman Sachs works with Quantum Motion to investigate how quantum computing can handle complex calculations including options pricing and risk analysis. In November 2024, the two collaborated on an arXiv paper demonstrating improved quantum algorithms for options pricing. Goldman Sachs also invests in quantum computing startups, quantum algorithm research, and quantum-safe cryptography to prepare financial systems for quantum threats. The firm serves the global investment banking and financial services market. In 2026, reporting indicated that Goldman Sachs had scaled back its quantum computing program after internal analysis concluded that practical financial applications would require millions of logical qubits, far beyond near-term hardware. This marked a divergence from JPMorgan Chase, which has continued to invest heavily in the field. Update 2026-05-05: Goldman Sachs formed a new firm with Anthropic and other investors to integrate Claude into mid-sized businesses.
