I agree wholeheartedly with the over use of "quantum" in principle and it generally annoys the crap out of me, since most people have no idea what that word means (indivisible unit of something). However, in this case it can be applicable. A quantum banking system would be a system that uses any quantum system (e.g. entangled photons) that requires quantum mechanics to create or model (write algorithms for).
Because measuring a QM system alters the system, this creates a very secure (perfectly secure?) network. If the result of measurement is not as expected on the two ends (sender and receiver) than the system has been compromised (measured or influenced) somewhere in between. Any external intruder is immediately detected.
A quantum banking system would be any money transfer or storage system that utilizes these tools, or any other system that uses the principles of QM. One way or another we will have such a system in the future. In fact we have such systems now, or at least the small pieces that would make up such a system, but as far as I am aware they exist only in labs (take how widespread they are with a grain of salt, who really knows?).
Makes sense. We’ve known for years that there are a small handful of companies deep in the quantum computer research space and making headway. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if highly classified programs have quantum very much so working.
OK, so you do understand what a quantum computer is. Sorry if I was testy, I'm just trying to figure out why this is being pushed.

Yup...good answer

No worries. We’re all on edge, fren.
