What does it mean that we now have a quantum computer with, gasp, 100 qubits? ColdQuanta found a way to beat giants like IBM to this amazing feat, and they did it with a new approach that may lead to smaller quantum computing systems that could be rack-mountable one day. Like a reverse microwave, the new Hilbert computer uses lasers… Whitepaper July 27, 2022 Balancing Opportunity and Risk: Security for RPA Platforms Robotic process automation (RPA) was first used to execute predetermined, rules-based tasks twenty or so years ago. Since then, RPA has functioned as a virtual workforce for businesses, which benefit from its power to collect data, execute processes rapidly and unerringly, and facilitate higher levels of quality — while enhancing customer satisfaction.We’ve previously addressed at length the… Podcast Transcript September 20, 2021 Transcript | Riding a Hot IPO Market – Capitalizing on Opportunities and Managing Key Challenges It has been an active, and often wild, ride in the IPO market over the past year. After a slow period during the heart of the initial COVID-19 crisis, market activity has reignited at a blistering pace, driven by optimism in the global economy and the emergence of special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, among other factors. There’s ample excitement right now about IPOs, but there also… Podcast June 1, 2022 Podcast | A UK-Based Quantum Computer via Amazon Quantum computing via cloud access feels global, but there are reasons to have these machines located in a particular region. Oxford Quantum Circuits released a quantum computer named Lucy on Amazon Braket that not only helps customers with regulatory concerns, but also brings an exciting new type of transmon technology to the industry. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat on the coaxmon… Podcast October 31, 2022 Podcast | Quantum Interconnect with Entangled Networks Things can get tricky when you try to cram too many qubits onto one quantum processor. Is the best way to build a machine with thousands of qubits actually to connect or “interconnect” many smaller processors together? And can this concept be extended to interconnect several large-scale machines across vast distances? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about the technology that might… Podcast Transcript February 14, 2023 Transcript | Application-Specific Quantum Computing – with Anastasia Marchenkova Bleximo Squeezing every bit of performance out of a NISQ-era quantum processor is usually handled in the software stack. But what if you could actually design QPUs for specific types of use cases? Anastasia Marchenkova is working on this approach at Bleximo and the result has been a remarkable boost to speed. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about the possibilities of these application-… Survey February 14, 2023 Top Risks Webinar Question Guide Responses to Selected Questions Received During Webinar – January 11, 2023 We received numerous questions during our January webinar on Executive Perspectives on Top Risks for 2023 & 2032. While we responded to some during the webinar, we were unable to cover all of them. We have selected a number of the unanswered questions that we believe to be of general interest and have included… Client Story February 16, 2023 Protiviti helps global energy conglomerate complete a complex integration of an E&P target Rising energy prices and the resulting profitability typically generate a flurry of merger and acquisition activity in the oil and gas sector. The deals frequently target organizations that are independent and entrepreneurial in spirit — companies that have amassed a significant but often underdeveloped asset base and whose processes generally have not kept up with the growth of the company. The… Podcast Transcript February 18, 2023 Transcript | ESG from a Legal Perspective – with Dennis Kerrigan and Rich Cohen In this episode, we focus on ESG from a legal perspective. Alyse Mauro Mason, an Associate Director with the Business Performance Improvement solution and ESG practice at Protiviti, interviews Dennis Kerrigan, Executive Vice President and General Counsel for the Hanover Insurance Group, and Rich Cohen, a Managing Director with the Legal Consulting practice at Protiviti. Whitepaper February 20, 2023 One Year of Russian Sanctions: A Financial Services Industry Perspective On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. The global condemnation of the invasion has included an unprecedented number of sanctions against Russia that began being issued almost immediately and has continued as the war goes on, bringing with it large-scale economic disruption and untold human tragedy. For the financial services industry and the issuing nations, there are lessons to be learned… Load More
