AdvanThink, Europe’s leading expert in real-time payment fraud detection, and Quandela, a leader in quantum computing, have established a strategic partnership aimed at transforming the future of payment fraud prevention.
The Promise: By leveraging the complementary strengths of AI and quantum computing, the two companies aim to develop high-performance fraud detection models designed for real-world deployment. These systems will be capable of identifying payment fraud faster and with greater accuracy than existing solutions.
Detecting payment fraud in real time remains one of today’s most significant technological, operational, and strategic challenges. In response to constantly evolving fraud techniques, AdvanThink has spent 35 years building strategic tools powered by artificial intelligence that continuously learn and adapt to emerging threats. In this ongoing race to improve performance, artificial intelligence has become an essential tool, capable of detecting subtle warning signs across large volumes of data with unprecedented precision and speed.
Future requirements will be even more demanding. Fraud detection models will need to be faster, more accurate, more energy-efficient, and more resilient against increasingly sophisticated attacks. It is within this context that AdvanThink and Quandela have joined forces to explore the potential of quantumcomputing and push the boundaries of state-of-the-art fraud detection.
The first phase of this partnership will focus on developing a proof of concept that demonstrates the value of integrating quantum machine learning algorithms into AdvanThink’s industrial pipelines.
“For 35 years, AdvanThink has placed technological innovation at the heart of its development strategy. Quantum AI holds a significant promise when it comes to fraud detection. It serves as a powerful catalyst for innovation in building the secure payment solutions of tomorrow – and financial institutions need to begin acknowledging this transformation today. We have already successfully integrated Quandela’s technology into an AdvanThink pipeline, meeting all the requirements of an industrial-grade system ready for deployment. This first demonstrator holds great potential for experts in fraud detection,” says Brice Perdrix, CEO of AdvanThink.
“Quandela has already developed a quantum machine learning model that enhances credit risk assessment. The algorithm also shows strong potential in payment fraud detection. Quandela’s partnership with AdvanThink facilitates the integration of this model into an industrial workflow and enables benchmarking against the best products on the market,” adds Niccolo Somaschi, co-founder and CEO of Quandela.

Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) / Paris (France), 22 October 2026 – Quandela, a European leader in photonic quantum computing, announces a major milestone in its expansion in Southeast Asia. Quanova, a Vietnamese quantum company, has selected Quandela’s MosaiQ solution as the foundation of a new quantum research, innovation, service and entrepreneurship (quantum-RISE) program at Quang Trung University (QTU) in Quy Nhơn, Gia Lai. The project marks the first France–Vietnam collaboration in quantum computing and will lead to the deployment of Vietnam’s first quantum computer, with the support of Nam A Bank.
Vietnam’s first quantum computer at the heart of a strategic education and research program
This long-term partnership, developed with Quanova, Quandela’s strategic local partner in Vietnam, will provide Quang Trung University with a comprehensive platform for education, research and innovation. Nam A Bank is supporting the initiative as part of its commitment to advanced technologies. As Võ Hoàng Hải, Deputy CEO of Nam A Bank, explained: “Nam A Bank invests in core technologies, including quantum technology, to help build high-tech capabilities in Vietnam through strong and effective cooperation with French organizations.” The program includes:
Deployment of the MosaiQ photonic quantum computer;
Faculty training and development of dedicated curricula;
Provision of the software suite and support for the creation of a Quantum Experience Center and launch of the Quantum Innovator Residency Program;
Organization of technology events and hackathons.
A landmark France–Vietnam quantum collaboration
The project builds on the strategic agreement signed by Quandela and Quanova in Paris during the France–Vietnam Leaders Forum, in the presence of General Secretary President Tô Lâm and French President Emmanuel Macron. It is the first France–Vietnam collaboration dedicated to quantum computing and reflects the growing technological cooperation between the two countries.
For Marine Xech-Gaspa, Director of Institutional Affairs & Public Policy at Quandela, the announcement shows how quickly the partnership is translating into concrete action: “Quandela is very proud to see its strategic partnership with Quanova already materialize in the first France–Vietnam quantum computing project and the deployment of Vietnam’s first quantum computer. We sincerely thank Quang Trung University and Nam A Bank for their trust. Together, we are laying the foundations for a lasting quantum ecosystem that will support education, research and innovation in Vietnam.”
Officialized in Ho Chi Minh City
The partnership and the deployment project were officially announced in Ho Chi Minh City on the evening of 21 October 2026, in the presence of representatives of the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR).
Welcoming the announcement, Étienne Ranaivoson, Consul General of France in Ho Chi Minh City, said: “As part of the first French delegation dedicated to quantum technologies in Vietnam, I welcome Quandela’s commitment, which is enabling Vietnam to acquire its first quantum computer—a symbol of the trust uniting our two countries in the technologies of the future.”
The event highlighted the shared commitment of French and Vietnamese partners to develop sovereign capabilities in quantum technologies, education and research.
Building long-term quantum capacity in Vietnam
Beyond the installation of MosaiQ, the partnership is designed to build lasting local expertise. The Quantum Innovator Residency Program will bring together students, researchers, educators and technology innovators around practical uses of quantum computing, while faculty training, dedicated curricula and access to Quandela’s software environment will support the emergence of a new generation of quantum talent in Vietnam.
Rossy Nguyen Hoang Hong Nhung, CEO of Quanova, summarized the partnership approach: “To co-create new technologies, we must first build trusted partnerships and train the next generation. That is why we are developing the Quantum Innovator Residency Program with Quandela, Quang Trung University and Nam A Bank.”
