Dive into top compliance priorities for 2026 — the most unpredictable year yet — with our latest episode, where we explore the evolving landscape of regulatory priorities. Join Kimberley Cole and industry experts Bernadine Reese and Carol Beaumier from Protiviti as they unpack the complexities of compliance in an unpredictable environment. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the challenges of…
In this episode of Protiviti’s Legal Perspectives podcast, host Chad Volkert, Protiviti managing director and leader of the firm’s Chief Legal Officer solutions group, sits down with Effie D. Silva of Fresh Del Monte to discuss a broad range of topics that span Effie’s career as well as today’s emerging legal challenges for companies.Effie is Senior Vice President, General Counsel for Fresh Del Monte. She is a…
The “Constellation Platform” is revolutionizing the path to fault-tolerant quantum computing. Rather than relying on traditional state vector simulations that hit a wall at 50 qubits, this platform from Quantum Elements uses a breakthrough method, stochastic compression, to create realistic digital twins of quantum hardware at scale. This approach allows developers to simulate the complex time evolution of a system…
In our latest edition of Board Perspectives, our conversation focuses on the challenge of guiding companies through an energy transition that requires significant capital, stronger risk governance, and early pathways to generating cash flow. As global supply chains shift and critical minerals grow more essential, directors must keep competitiveness front and center in an increasingly interconnected economy.
Let’s look to 2026 and recap a pivotal 2025 with Paul Terry, CEO of Photonic. Explore why the industry has officially moved past the era of noisy qubits into the race for fault-tolerant, "gold-standard" logical qubits. Paul joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to break down Photonic’s selection for DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative Stage B and explains how their unique distributed architecture — which uses…
Traffic congestion isn't just a daily annoyance; it’s a multi-billion dollar drain on the global economy. In this episode, we explore a concrete, real-world application of quantum computing that aims to solve this problem today. Tal David, Co-founder and CEO of Quantum Art, joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to discuss the company’s major new partnership with Ayalon Highways in Israel. Tal breaks down how they are…
In this episode of Risky Women Radio, Christine Lowthian, head of regulatory compliance at HSBC, shares insights on her career journey and the importance of seizing opportunities and building a supportive network. She highlights her experience leading global teams, particularly in commercial banking and the U.S., and the challenges of managing multicultural teams. Lowthian stresses the role of technology,…
We cover post-quantum cryptography (PQC) regularly on this show, focusing on the new math-based ciphers that will secure the Internet as quantum computing becomes more powerful. But what about physics-based encryption or quantum key distribution (QKD)? Is that still a thing? We examine how exploiting the laws of quantum physics can securely exchange encryption keys over a fiber and explore the benefits of the newer…
The word “foundry” might make you think of large machines pouring metal into molds, but Argonne National Labs has a Quantum Foundry that implants individual atoms, like silicon, into materials such as diamond. The resulting spin qubits are optically active and can use photons to communicate. We can expect spin qubits to help interconnect systems, which could help us achieve distributed quantum computing, but they…
