How much performance can you squeeze out of quantum computing by improving the stack? A lot happens in code before classical bits touch qubits. One company’s hardware-specific algorithms, delivered via a cloud platform, supercharge real-world applications like protein folding and AI-enhanced machine learning. From outperforming classical tools like Gurobi on IBM’s 156-qubit processor to slashing circuit depths by up…

This episode of Protiviti's Blind Spots in the Boardroom podcast Protiviti Managing Director and host Constantine Boyadjiev welcomes Joel Wuesthoff, a Managing Director in Protiviti’s Legal Consulting practice. They discuss the intersection of AI adoption and corporate governance and explore both the opportunities and risks associated with generative AI and large language models, emphasising the legal, regulatory,…

When NIST released the first post-quantum cryptography standards in August 2024, it set off a domino effect that will hopefully result in protecting the world from the quantum computing threat. Now that we’re beginning to migrate and trust our data to lattice-based cryptography, it’s a good time to examine how ML-KEM works and get some hints about how to implement it well. And who better to ask than one of the…

In this episode of the Blind Spots in the Boardroom podcast, Protiviti Managing Director and host Constantine Boyadjiev welcomes Rich Kessler, a Director in Protiviti’s Technology Risk and Resilience, to discusses the growing impact of AI, especially generative models, on governance functions. They explore the balance between innovation and risk, emphasising responsible adoption through structured frameworks, cross-…

Quantum computing and sensing are emerging markets, but they are already worth well over a billion dollars. How is growth looking? Some trends may surprise you, including a shift to on-prem quantum computers. Has AI really stolen quantum’s thunder, or is it about to synergistically help our industry and qubit counts grow? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat with Celia Merzbacher where they…

Over 1000 GPS denial attacks happen around the world … every day! If GPS fails, planes, ships, and drones could be stranded in a fog of uncertainty or forced into a dangerous situation. Can the unprecedented precision of quantum sensing help? We dive into cutting-edge innovations at Q-CTRL, exploring how AI-powered quantum navigation is revolutionising aerospace and defense, outsmarting GPS denial attacks, and…

Post-quantum cryptography is rapidly moving from the realm of NIST standards to running in production. The threat of quantum computing advances and coming regulations are driving this acceleration. One major component on the PQC migration plan for companies is VPN. In this episode we look at the Ambit corporate VPN client, which uses a standardised NIST PQC cipher: ML-KEM. Did you know there are potential gotchas…

Our Blind Spots in the Boardroom series is focused on critical business issues that can significantly impact an organization's strategy and operations, particularly those that the board and/or C-suite are not focused on at all or enough.In this episode of Blind Spots in the Boardroom, host Frank Kurre and guest Mark Rogers discuss the strategic and often lengthy process of securing a board position. They highlight…

In our latest installment of Board Perspectives, we’re discussing the state of ESG around the world. Protiviti Associate Director Alyse Mauro Mason is joined by Rachel Lowe of Proskauer and Matt Toohey of Modern West Advisory.

Quantum computing is a fast-moving field, and not just when photons are involved. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat with Anastasia Marchenkova where they cover recent developments and potential future outcomes. Topics include: chip hype, logical qubits, imminent practical business use cases, quantum random numbers, the implications of AI in quantum coding, investing, and networking or…
