We can easily extrapolate that quantum computing will excel at large optimizations that challenge classical systems. One such mammoth problem is power-grid energy distribution. How has one neutral atom system started to tackle this already? Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Rob Hays from Atom Computing, where they discuss a partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy.Guest:…

A leading Fortune 500 energy company with nine million utility customers sought to divest a long-held subsidiary to another leading energy provider. Solving the complex transition of technology, data and customer service from one provider to another required a comprehensive understanding of both the security environment and the timing of regulatory approvals. Utilizing a team of experienced…

Rising energy prices and the resulting profitability typically generate a flurry of merger and acquisition activity in the oil and gas sector. The deals frequently target organizations that are independent and entrepreneurial in spirit — companies that have amassed a significant but often underdeveloped asset base and whose processes generally have not kept up with the growth of the company. The…

Assessing the results of Protiviti’s 2021 SOX Compliance Survey within the energy and utilities industries
It’s been more than a year since a historic global pandemic changed the way companies operate in the near-term and very likely for the long-term future.
We can see the impact on numerous fronts — including the costs for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance activities. And for certain companies, the…

The range of uncertainties facing energy and utilities business leaders around the globe is overwhelming. Challenges triggered by a once-in-a-century pandemic continue to unfold, combined with numerous other risk issues, such as growing social unrest and polarization, and ever-present challenges associated with technology, digital transformation and innovation. Staying abreast of emerging risk…

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…
