How did we end up in this world of playing catch up with the ethical implications of technology? Quantum computing is still relatively new, but it will impact machine learning, encryption, and other areas that will have major repercussions on all our futures. During… Podcast Transcript September 11, 2022 Transcript | Quantum Machine Learning Using PennyLane Quantum machine learning, or QML, is one of the three major application categories for quantum computing, along with optimisation and simulation. As we’re working with customers at Protiviti to find advantageous use cases in QML, we rely daily on a tool called PennyLane from Xanadu. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis, and special cohost Emily Stamm, for a chat with Nathan Killoran from Xanadu to… Podcast Transcript June 3, 2020 Transcript | Finding Equilibrium in Uncertain Times Most discussions concerning the COVID-19 global pandemic aspire to a path leading to some form of normalcy, a new normal. That pathway is often framed in terms of phases, with each phase leading to an equilibrium of sorts. In other words, the state of equilibrium will be defined differently with each phase. This is Kevin Donahue, senior director with Protiviti, welcoming you to a new edition of… Podcast Transcript December 7, 2021 Transcript | Preparing for the Quantum Threat to Cryptography and Cryptocurrency Cybersecurity continues to be a critical area of concern for organisations and virtually any leader you ask – board members, CIOs, CFOs, and many more. But as elevated as those risks are today, the real threat may be just around the corner, particularly concerning cryptocurrency. Crypto has been viewed as highly secure, but the rapid emergence of quantum computing, which is set to deliver… Podcast Transcript April 23, 2020 Transcript: GRC Technology Perspectives Around the Globe - Japan This is a series of podcasts on GRC programmes and technologies, obtaining perspectives from Protiviti leaders and subject-matter experts around the world on GRC drivers, innovations and challenges in their markets. This episode features conversation with Yasumi Taniguchi, a managing director and leader of Protiviti’s offices in Japan. Yasumi-san provides her thoughts and perspectives on GRC… Podcast Transcript May 5, 2021 Transcript | Microsoft Azure Quantum: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility What do you do when you’re working on what could be the world’s most powerful quantum computer … but it’s not quite ready? Well, you give access to other powerful systems via your cloud environment. During this episode we discuss Microsoft Azure Cloud, software development environments and abstracting away complexity, muse on when or if topological computing will arrive (and explain it), and… Whitepaper September 16, 2020 Strategies for Reducing Retail Shrink During Challenging Times Shrink has long represented a significant challenge for retailers. Unfortunately, during a time of tightening margins and declining sales, the issue shows no signs of withering away. According to the 2020 National Retail Security Survey of the National Retail Federation (NRF), shrink is at an all-time high. In 2019, it accounted for an average rate of 1.62% of inventory, calculated at retail,… Podcast Transcript December 1, 2021 Transcript | Monte Carlo Simulations and Other Quantum Use Cases Monte Carlo simulations have been around for quite a while in classical computing, and help companies model “what if scenarios” such as how pricing might change over time. Since 2015, the quantum computing industry has believed Monte Carlo simulations would be one of the best use cases to show quantum advantage. QC Ware was able to prove the feasibility of this… Podcast Transcript October 20, 2021 Transcript | Helping Businesses Manage Quantum Computing Clouds on One Platform Compared to a couple years ago, we’re spoiled by how many real quantum computers we can access online today. Some systems are available through multi-hardware cloud sites like Microsoft Azure Quantum and Amazon Braket; some through individual system manufacturer’s own sites. As more machines come online, and more businesses compete for quantum compute time, things are starting to get a little… Podcast Transcript November 16, 2021 Transcript | Practical Quantum Computing Advantage for Businesses D-Wave has been making quantum computers for over a decade, and their annealers excel at optimisation. If you look at the use cases the company has been helping customers with – saving time, money or both - it almost feels like quantum advantage is here. During this podcast, we discuss the power of annealers from D-Wave and how organisations can take advantage of the benefits today. Guest… Load More
