AdvanThink and Quandela to integrate Quantum AI into payment fraud detection models
AdvanThink, the European leader in payment fraud detection, and Quandela, a French start-up and leader in photonic quantum computing, have formed a scientific partnership to create the future of payment fraud detection. 0 The promise? By combining the potential of the two technologies, the two partners will create the solution of the future, which will be even more effective and efficient than today's state-of-the-art solutions. Detecting payment fraud in real time is a major technological, operational and strategic challenge that concerns us all. Faced with the constant evolution of fraud techniques, AdvanThink has been developing strategic tools based on Artificial Intelligence for 35 years, so that we can learn continuously and adapt. In this race for performance, Artificial Intelligence is emerging as a strategic tool, capable of spotting weak signals on a large scale, with unprecedented precision and speed. But the demands of tomorrow will be even greater: models that are ever faster, more accurate, more energy-efficient and more resistant to sophisticated attacks. With this in mind, AdvanThink and Quandela are working together to explore the potential of quantum computing to push back the boundaries of state-of-the-art fraud detection. The aim of the scientific partnership is initially to produce a proof of concept demonstrating the value of integrating a Quantum Machine Learning algorithm into AdvanThink's industrial processes. "For 35 years, AdvanThink has placed technological innovation at the heart of its development strategy. Quantum AI holds great promise for fraud detection and represents a real innovation lever for building tomorrow's payment security - and financial institutions need to start thinking about this transformation now. We have already succeeded in integrating Quandela's technology into an AdvanThink pipeline with all the prerequisites of an industrial system ready for deployment. This first demonstrator is full of promise for experts in the fight against fraud," says Brice Perdrix, CEO of AdvanThink. "Quandela has developed a quantum machine learning model to improve credit risk assessment. This algorithm also has great potential for detecting payment fraud. The partnership with AdvanThink means that this model can be integrated into an industrial workflow and compared with the best products available on the market", explains Niccolo Somaschi, co-founder and CEO of Quandela.

Coherent Expands PowerMax™ Line with PM15k+ High-Power Laser Sensor and New Backscatter Shield for PM10k+
SAXONBURG, Pa., June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a global leader in photonics, today announced the expansion of its industry-leading PowerMax™ sensor portfolio with two new innovations: the PM15K+ high-power laser sensor and a new backscatter shield option for the PM10K+. These new solutions address the growing demand for accurate, efficient, and safe measurement of high-power laser systems in industrial environments. The PM15K+ sensor is designed to measure continuous laser power up to 15 kW, with the capability to handle intermittent power up to 20 kW. Featuring a large 100 mm x 100 mm active area, it accommodates wide beam diameters typically found in high-power diode and fiber laser systems. With a typical response time of just 5 seconds, the PM15K+ is ideal for high-throughput industrial settings that require fast, reliable laser power measurements. Coherent also introduced a major enhancement to its popular PM10K+ sensor—a backscatter shield that dramatically improves measurement accuracy and safety. The shield reduces reflected laser energy from 10–15% down to 1% or less, capturing stray laser light that might otherwise interfere with surrounding equipment or personnel. It features a 65 mm round input aperture and integrates seamlessly with existing PM10K+ systems. 'These new innovations reflect our commitment to advancing the state of laser measurement,' said Dr. Torsten Rauch, Senior Vice President, Solid State Business Unit. 'With the PM15K+ and backscatter shield for the PM10K+, users now have more tools to measure high-power lasers accurately, efficiently, and safely.' Both new offerings are generally available and are fully compatible with the Coherent LabMax-Pro and PowerMax-Pro systems, supporting a wide range of industrial manufacturing, scientific, and medical laser applications.
