Things can get tricky when you try to cram too many qubits onto one quantum processor. Is the best way to build a machine with thousands of qubits actually to connect or “interconnect” many smaller processors together? And can this concept be extended to interconnect several large-scale machines across vast distances? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about the technology that might get us to behemoth-…

Corporate culture, once a rather squishy, hard-to-define concept for organisations, increasingly is a top-of-mind concern for leaders looking to create a desirable workplace for innovation and one where employees who have many choices want to remain long-term. The challenges are especially acute amid the current war for talent and the need to attract and retain the best people. And part of building a strong culture…

In late 2020, physicists in China generated controversy by claiming quantum advantage with a photonic quantum computing system that’s technically not programmable. Other companies have been experimenting with photonic systems, including QuiX Quantum. How do these machines work? Should scientists redefine what quantum advantage means, focusing on practical, usable problems a machine is solving? Join host Konstantinos…

Innovation, transformation and the introduction of more advanced technologies are on the agendas of most groups in an organisation today. The same certainly holds true for internal audit functions – but perhaps not at the same levels of engagement as departments such as finance and IT. In fact, the results of the latest Next-Generation Internal Audit Survey from Protiviti show that overall maturity levels for…

In coding, libraries make developers’ lives easier, sparing them thousands of lines of code, while also increasing performance and security. And everyone’s concerned with security as fault-tolerant quantum computing approaches. Geometry Labs has released the “lattice-algebra” library to bring a high-performance cryptographic library to developers interested in using post-quantum cryptography in blockchain and other…

Protiviti Managing Directors Clint McPherson and Seth Schrank discuss opportunities to pursue procedural and structural changes in SOX compliance programs, most notably through the use of third-party delivery centers to handle the highly defined and repeatable controls testing work that dominates SOX compliance efforts.

Quantum computing via cloud access feels global, but there are reasons to have these machines located in a particular region. Oxford Quantum Circuits released a quantum computer named Lucy on Amazon Braket that not only helps customers with regulatory concerns, but also brings an exciting new type of transmon technology to the industry. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat on the coaxmon approach to…

The fear of a quantum cryptographic apocalypse has been with us since the 90s and has launched quite a few careers and companies. Post-Quantum, no relation to this show, has been developing end-to-end solutions for quantum-secure communications since 2009, and they recently participated in a year-long proof of concept with NATO. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat on practical solutions to prepare for the…

The current and future state of risk analytics is bedrock to empowering the compliance function’s forward-looking agenda. With the evolution of enterprise risks, advancements in analytics, and the ever-morphing regulatory landscape, compliance can be transformed by being further data driven, and monetise the deployment of advanced analytics in empowering intelligent decision-making and risk detection. In this…

Managing risks and strengthening controls associated with operations have become increasingly more complex for all organisations. Firms are expending significant time, money, and resources to implement required changes and prioritise operational risk management efforts. As costs continue to increase, it is clear that the overly manual, reactive, and siloed status quo is unsustainable. In this episode of Protiviti’s…
