Financial firms’ ESG agendas have been influenced by several stakeholders – including customers, employees and investors – but perhaps none more influential than… Podcast November 1, 2022 Podcast | Trapping Ions for Powerful Quantum Computing with IonQ It’s hard to improve the purity of an atom. Identical and easy to find, atoms such as those in ytterbium can make flawless qubits. We only need to be able to trap and control them. Can using trapped ions as qubits therefore yield the most powerful quantum computers on the planet? How scalable is this approach on the road to quantum advantage? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about… Podcast Transcript October 5, 2022 Transcript | Trapping Ions for Powerful Quantum Computing It’s hard to improve the purity of an atom.

Fast forward to today and legal departments are capitalising on technology as they become stronger centers of excellence within their organisations. Join podcast host Managing Director Chad Volkert, in the first episode of our new legal podcast series, featuring Debbie Hoffman, founder and CEO of… Blogs July 14, 2023 Top Takeaways from the EBA’s Report on the ML/TF Risks of Payment Institutions The European Banking Authority (EBA) recently released a report on its 2022 review of the money laundering/terrorist financing (ML/TF) risks of European payment institutions (PIs). There are nearly 900 authorised PIs in the EU which are subject to Directive (EU) 2015/849 (‘AMLD’) for anti-money laundering and terrorist financing (AML/CFT) purposes. While many of the EBA’s findings are… Podcast Transcript September 8, 2021 Transcript | A 100-Qubit Quantum Computer Arrives Classical computing cannot simulate more than about 50 qubits. 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… Podcast September 8, 2021 Podcast | A 100-Qubit Quantum Computer Arrives with ColdQuanta Classical computing cannot simulate more than about 50 qubits.
