Keeping people safe by harnessing quantum computing

Low-carbon concrete could make a massive difference in sustainable waste plastic management and manage ongoing plastic production and growing consumption by offering a high volume, value-added end-of-life solution.

Bio-based materials are a renewable source of material, tend to have a lower environmental impact, and can be used across multiple lifecycles.

As quantum computers creep ever closer to widespread adoption, organisations must start planning for quantum-secure privacy now.

We look at three key areas risk leaders need to focus on to ensure they understand how quantum technology could change their business and are ready to respond.

Quantum technology eliminates vulnerabilities to global navigation satellite systems and ensures zero drift – meaning it can locate and navigate vehicles with pinpoint accuracy in any environment. It could even protect from accidental and malicious attack.

Quantum technologies are receiving billions of dollars in funding. But do the opportunities warrant the hype?

Richard works on everything from 3D-printed chocolate to quantum sensors and thrives on asking ‘What if?’.

Harness quantum technology to enhance decision making and ensure resilient communications.
