Mathematics is one of the most intimidating barriers for those looking to get into quantum coding. Mention linear algebra the next time you want to grind a conversation to a halt. What if there was a resource to learn the necessary mathematics to best prepare for such a career? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Leonard Woody, the author of an excellent new book, Essential Mathematics for Quantum…

Using cardinality constraints for portfolio optimisation opens the doors to new applications for creating innovative portfolios and exchange-traded-funds (ETFs). All while providing better returns with less market risk.  Host Konstantinos Karagiannis recently co-authored a paper on portfolio optimisation with Sam Palmer from Multiverse Computing. Find out how the team was able to outperform classical financial…

With the dominance of ESG as a key agenda item in the boardroom and C-suite, it’s no surprise that one especially noteworthy topic is sustainable finance – ensuring that investments in products and services are aligned with ESG and sustainability standards. This certainly is a key area of focus in financial services. In this podcast, Protiviti’s Paul Middleton interviews Ana Carolina Oliveira, Head of Sustainable…

An 85-year-old idea may hold the key to nearly error-free qubits. The Majorana fermion has taken on almost mythical status, but Microsoft recently solved a critical technical hurdle to creating topological qubits with the particle. How close are we to quantum computers with this technology? What other future developments can we expect from Azure Quantum? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat on topological…
