Algorithmic qubits. Qubit counts in general. What do they really tell us about the usability and power of a quantum computer? As we learned from classical computing, only benchmark software can really compare how systems perform different tasks. Super.tech is back to discuss their SupermarQ benchmark suite that gives us real performance data for quantum hardware. Guest: … Whitepaper December 2, 2021 Global Finance Trends Survey: Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods Finance leaders in the retail and consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry have been leading their organisations’ efforts to manage and adapt to challenges produced by the global pandemic. Many of these persistent pandemic-related challenges will continue to be a primary focus for finance leaders over the next 12 months, along with new and emerging priorities. According to the results of Protiviti… Newsletter October 15, 2020 10 ESG Reporting Questions Directors Should Consider Environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting has come into its own as a discipline, with most public companies now issuing sustainability reports. What’s the board’s role in ensuring these reports are responsive to investors’ needs? Podcast July 28, 2021 Podcast | Building a new Type of Quantum Computer with Superfluid Helium with EPiQC EeroQ is building a new type of quantum computing chip that uses electrons in superfluid helium. The approach promises over 1-GHz gate speed, spin-state qubits with over 1-second coherence times, and high connectivity or “gateability.” Will these machines also be linkable or modular? In addition we discuss funding for quantum startups, the need for quantum knowledge by all – not just… Podcast September 22, 2021 Quantum Computing Interconnect, Memory, and Other Engineering Advances with Q-Next Engineering challenges abound in quantum computing. Technologies like interconnect and improved memory for repeaters will enable these machines to accelerate and power connectivity in the future. Q-NEXT is one of five quantum information science research centers funded by the DOE to help develop these technologies in addition to strengthening the nation’s leadership position in the quantum arms… Podcast September 20, 2021 Riding a Hot IPO Market – Capitalising on Opportunities and Managing Key Challenges It has been an active, and often wild, ride in the IPO market over the past year. After a slow period during the heart of the initial COVID-19 crisis, market activity has reignited at a blistering pace, driven by optimism in the global economy and the emergence of special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, among other factors. There’s ample excitement right now about IPOs, but there also… Podcast August 23, 2021 Podcast | Workplace Transformation Next in our Transformation Series, guest host Lucy Pearman talks with Sophie Krynauw about the future of insurance and workplaces in a digital environment with global collaborative teams focusing on outcomes rather than process. Sophie Krynauw is the Transformation Audit Director at Group Audit Zurich Insurance Group. And part-time triathlete. Sophie is responsible for the designing the future… Newsletter October 18, 2021 Is Your Company Part of the Energy Revolution? Informed organisations in all industries are establishing carbon emissions reduction and net-zero carbon emissions targets. Directors’ conversations on strategy have an important role in businesses’ energy transformations. Energy consumption is a priority. The introduction of renewables continues as costs decline. The percentage of electricity consumed through non-fossil fuel sources — solar,… Podcast September 8, 2021 Podcast | A 100-Qubit Quantum Computer Arrives with ColdQuanta 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… Whitepaper June 10, 2022 Finding Equilibrium in an Era of Heightened Regulation Big Tech’s “big” problem How big is Big Tech? There is little doubt that the big five technology companies (i.e., Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Facebook) are operating in a completely different stratosphere. As one recent New York Times blog described it, “America’s tech titans have formed a separate universe in which they are the sun, and everyone else — billions of humans, other… Load More
