Podcast | Room Temperature Quantum Computing — with Quantum Brilliance

Can you put a quantum computer in a satellite, car, or even laptop? It’s possible with diamond-based quantum technologies that work at room temperature. Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center qubits challenge the notion that quantum computing is confined to massive data centers. Such mass-deployable quantum computers and sensors can be used in medical diagnostics, satellite...

Podcast | Room Temperature Quantum Computing — with Quantum Brilliance
October 1, 2025
Can you put a quantum computer in a satellite, car, or even laptop? It’s possible with diamond-based quantum technologies that work at room temperature. Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center qubits challenge the notion that quantum computing is confined to massive data centers. Such mass-deployable quantum computers and sensors can be used in medical diagnostics, satellite imaging, and anywhere local inference is useful.…
FPS Podcast | CMMC Rule is Out - What Contractors Must Know With DOD Contracts
September 22, 2025
On September 10th, 2025 the "CMMC Final Rule" was published in CFR48. After about seven years of starts and stops, determining Level classifications, the number of controls and compliance needed, CMMC certification is now set to be in certain DOD contracts starting November 10th. Cost of compliance has varied greatly, but when dealing with FCI and CUI data, this certification will protect that data through the…
Podcast | Running Shor’s Algorithm on Logical Qubits — with Infleqtion
September 17, 2025
For the first time, Shor’s Algorithm is running on logical qubits! The team at Infleqtion used their Sqale neutral atom processor to accomplish the feat. While the setup only uses six logical qubits, and we’re still in the range of factoring 15 or 21, this is both a proof of concept and a proof of the need for post-quantum cryptography (PQC). We discuss the aggressive 2.5:1 physical-to-logical ratio of Sqale, which…
Podcast | How Psychology Can Be a Driver for Sustainability – with Alyse Mauro Mason, Dr. Elise Amel and Paige Powers
September 9, 2025
In our latest edition of Board Perspectives, our conversation focuses on psychology and its role as a potential driver for sustainability in organisations. Protiviti Associate Director Alyse Mauro Mason is joined by Dr. Elise Amel and Paige Powers.Dr. Amel earned a PhD in Industrial and Organisational Psychology from Purdue University and is an award-winning professor of psychology at the University of St. Thomas.…
Podcast | Welcome to the Quantum Network – with Cisco
September 3, 2025
Imagine a world where quantum computers seamlessly share entangled particles across data centers, solving problems beyond the reach of classical systems. This may be possible soon thanks to a groundbreaking quantum networking entanglement chip capable of generating 200 million entangled photon pairs per second at room temperature. Cisco is redefining networking again, doing everything from detecting eavesdroppers on…
Podcast | One PQC Playbook – with DigiCert
August 19, 2025
DigiCert is widely recognised for its expertise in PKI and as a TLS certificate authority. As you can imagine, they have a significant perspective on the quantum computing threat to encryption and the migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). We cover everything from the challenges of upgrading IoT devices to ML-DSA signature sizes, as well as the new DigiCert One platform the company offers to help manage the…
Podcast | Cracking Encryption by 2030? – with Dean Kassmann of IonQ
August 6, 2025
IonQ is poised to redefine the quantum computing landscape, projecting a staggering 80,000 logical qubits by 2030—potentially unlocking the power to crack encryption. NIST has us on a timeline to upgrade to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by 2035, so this 5-year gap may spell doom for cybersecurity. Of course, these machines will also revolutionise industries from finance to drug discovery to AI. How is IonQ…
Podcast | Open-Source Quantum Sensing at DEF CON — with Quantum Village
July 23, 2025
DEF CON 33 approaches, bringing with it the fourth year of Quantum Village. Nothing like getting hands-on with quantum computing and sensing technology at the world’s leading hacking conference. To that end, this episode explores the open-source quantum sensing device and software that our guests Mark Carney and Victoria Kumaran are presenting in Vegas. And yes, for the third year in a row, host Konstantinos…
Podcast | From One Seat to Many: How Visibility and Networking Drive Board Appointments – with Frank Kurre
July 14, 2025
This episode of Blind Spots in the Boardroom podcast host Frank Kurre and guest Mark Rogers discuss how directors can secure a second or third board seat. The conversation explores the evolution of board recruitment, emphasising the importance of self-promotion, networking with existing board members, and building visibility through thought leadership and engagement in governance forums. It highlights how strategic…
