    We’re currently in the quantum economy 2.0. What was 1.0? We discuss this with someone who spent over two decades at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and who now consults with companies on a range of policy issues relating to the quantum economy. We also explore the business outlook for various quantum computing and sensing technologies. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis…

    Ever notice that giant tech companies seem to get press coverage for privacy concerns as often as they do for new product launches? 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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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,…

    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…
