Schedule a workshop today. The post-quantum world podcast The post-quantum world is a bi-weekly podcast that focuses on hot topics in quantum computing. Protiviti host and quantum lead, Konstantinos Karagiannis, and our guests explore quantum computing and its business impacts, benefits, and threats. Are you post-quantum ready? Find out What is quantum computing? Quantum computing are machines that take advantage of the ability of subatomic particles to exist in more than one state at any time. Due to how the particles behave, operations can be done much more quickly and using less energy than classical computers.So, what does this mean for your business?The benefits: Organisations should view quantum computing as a competitive advantage. New quantum-inspired algorithms will bring innovative solutions and approaches to product development. In addition, quantum computing can reduce time to market and optimise customer delivery.The risks: On the flip side, quantum computing poses a significant risk to organisations. Researchers have shown how quantum computing could kill—or at least significantly weaken—current cryptography systems. A quantum computer will instantly render today’s security systems obsolete and break the encryption of sensitive data protected by such security systems. This puts your organisation’s data, intellectual property (IP, patents, customer information, and data) at risk. Any information shared on public channels now or in the future will become vulnerable. For industries such as financial services and healthcare with significant regulatory requirements for data privacy and security, quantum will have a significant business, legal, and ethical impact.Example areas of risk include:Protecting government and military communicationsSecuring financial and banking transactionsAssuring the confidentiality of medical data and healthcare recordsSafeguarding the storage of personal data in the cloudRestricting access to confidential corporate networks Prepare today for quantum computing Post-quantum encryption—new capabilities and algorithms that are resistant to attacks by both classical and quantum computers—to keep information assets secure even after a large-scale quantum computer is available, is underway.Leading organisations such as the Chicago Quantum Exchange are advancing research and education in the science and engineering of quantum information.While quantum may still be several years away, organisations need to take steps to prepare today. Our quantum computing services are helping organisations with post-quantum risk assessments, readiness workshops, and planning quantum road maps.Key steps you should take today:Select a quantum championConduct a post-quantum readiness workshopIdentify quantum computing use cases, value to your organisation, and potential risksChart a quantum course and multi-year road map.Start your journey and re-assess the road map every 6-12 months. Update the plan based on new quantum computing discoveries and developments, as well as changes in your business and industry.Be prepared and flexible!

Button Button Will quantum computing be a game changer for governments? In this Interview, Joe Kornik, Editor-in-Chief of VISION by Protiviti, sits down with Konstantinos Karagiannis, Protiviti’s Director of Quantum Computing Services, to discuss quantum’s impact on the future of government, where the U.S. stacks up with the rest of the world, and how encryption and protecting sensitive and classified information will be paramount in the quantum era. Watch now Quantum computing will revolutionise work Quantum computing’s influence on the way we work in the future likely will occur in waves. The initial shift will be subtle, although that surge will quickly give way to more substantial changes. Once a critical mass of quantum solutions and progress has been achieved, workforces, organisations and industries will experience profound transformations.
