The editorial staff of Technology Review had no role in the creation of this content.***Sources cited:nottingham.ac.uk/news/university-spin-out-named-best-medtech-start-upquantumsensors.org***Transcript:The human brain is the most complex natural structure in the known universe, comprised of roughly 86 billion neurons transmitting 1,000 impulses per second. Much of how the brain works remains a mystery, driving the need for continuous research.Quantum sensing and imaging is bringing clarity to the world of neurology, and these advanced brain imaging solutions are needed now more than ever. In 2015, neurological disorders were the leading cause of disability-adjusted life years, and the second leading cause of deaths globally, at 16.8%, affecting 9.4 million people.Meanwhile, dementia prevalence is rising. The number of people living with dementia will double every 30 years, reaching 75 million by 2025, with a marked increase in developing economies. Quantum technology is bringing dramatic improvement to magnetoencephalography, or MEG, scanners — in detecting and treating neurological conditions such as autism, epilepsy, and dementia. The UK government is committed to making the United Kingdom a world-leading quantum economy. They’ve provided £1 billion pounds in funding since 2014, and have committed £2.5 billion pounds over the next 10 years to achieve this goal.Cerca Magnetics is a quantum company that grew out of years of research. With the UK Quantum Technology Hub Sensors and Timing, who provided funding, Cerca created the world’s first wearable MEG scanner.Conventional MEG scanners are bulky, and require patients to remain still for long periods of time.Cerca’s cutting-edge, optically pumped magnetometer system allows movement during scans. It uses small, innovative, highly sensitive quantum sensors that do not require cryogenic cooling, in a lightweight helmet that can adapt to any head shape or size and lets the patient move freely, allowing new accessibility for infants and children.These images can show moment-to-moment changes, providing an extremely powerful means to measure the brain, potentially facilitating further research into neurological diseases and treatment outcomes.The UK has world-leading strengths for quantum development: deep research talent, knowledge, and a rapidly growing quantum sector. With the assistance of the UK Quantum Technology Hub Sensors and Timing, Cerca Magnetics is leading the way.

MIT Technology Review & Azure present: Azure Networking Services MIT Technology Review 2023-03-16 | Today’s reality is that work happens everywhere, so organizations are relying more than ever on networks to manage, connect, power, and secure everything they do. Looking for a network solution that can optimize performance and tighten security for your business? Enter Azure Networking Services. Explore how to ease the complexity of remote work, maximize edge intelligence, and keep your data secure with a zero-trust model.Learn more here: https://aka.ms/azurenetworking_fundamentals This video was produced by MITTR Studios in partnership with Azure.MITTR Studios is the custom video storytelling arm of MIT Technology Review. The editorial staff of Technology Review had no role in the creation of this content.—Transcript:Today’s reality is that work happens everywhere, so organizations are relying more than ever on networks to manage, connect, power, and secure everything they do. The process of building, maintaining, and securing those networks has reached a level of complexity that’s nearly as wild as a hybrid workforce. But having the right network services solution isn’t a “nice-to-have.” If your business isn’t on top of optimizing performance both in and out of the office, you’re not in the game. The right solution can ease the complexity of remote work, maximize the value of edge intelligence, and tighten security to better protect people and data. That’s important for several reasons. For starters, businesses that don’t have a secure network infrastructure face both internal and external threats. Costly cyber attacks have the potential to shut down a small or even midsize business permanently. Azure Networking Services – with built-in availability, scalability, and reliability – enables industry-leading service level agreements that help ensure business continuity even during traffic spikes and latency issues, while promoting security via a zero trust model.Azure is working with healthcare providers to better protect patient privacy, financial institutions to prevent fraud, and retail companies to offer frictionless checkout and optimize supply chains. Keeping your business operational in any scenario comes down to a modern, secure network. As bad actors get more creative and network attacks more sophisticated, those networks must follow suit with strategic protection. And let’s not forget that data is available everywhere. It takes networking services to connect all that data in order to derive actionable business intelligence, and to ensure they stay connected in critical scenarios no matter the latency required.The landscape has changed, and it will continue to do so. Companies that want to keep up will have to stay laser-focused on network innovation. And one of the best ways to do that is with partners like Azure Networking and Network Security Services, those who are dedicated to providing the very capabilities needed to meet the world of work where it is today, and wherever it goes tomorrow.

It’s so crowded but whenever I’m in the city, I feel I’m part of it. I'm Valanka Fernandes. I’m an engineering lead at JPMorgan Chase. I'm from India. Every movie over there is songs and dancing.Dancing has been a part of my culture … like weddings and everything. So dancing was natural to me. I go to a Zumba class, and I come out energized. That high energy and confidence makes me feel good about myself. I started as a junior developer, and I grew into leadership a role. Growth for me is personal, professional and emotional. In the tech industry, every piece is critical. It’s a lot of coordination and a lot of work needed in order to build something. Security is very critical for us. Nothing else matters. We ensure that the person who is logging in … is the Chase customer. It should be a simple experience too. It should not be a complicated flow of multiple screens. I hope that we can deliver more features which customers can relate to, which makes their life easier.The technology is changing. The business is changing. The customer itself is changing. They are more tech savvy now. You are part of someone's life and ensuring that people are happy and using it, and are benefiting. It starts as a tiny idea to the part where you actually build everything, roll out everything, and then it's finally out there. And I have contributed my small bit in that journey, makes me happy. ###

My son. …I would love for him to follow in our footsteps. His brain is huge. I'm just excited to see what he's going to do. I learned Python, and it just let me know that I could do anything. I looked at down at it and I'm like, okay, okay, dot net. I can learn that C++. Okay, yeah, we can do that! JPMorgan Chase is so focused on your knowledge and input. You feel known. You feel like you are a part of a family.I love that I can show talent and expertise and knowledge. There’s people there that are depending on you. And no voice goes unheard.

The best things happen when you don't expect them. I'm at my best when the pressure's highest, which is why I'm still a drilling reservist. My name is Nick Adam. I work at JPMorgan Chase doing cybersecurity. We operate in over 60 countries as a bank. We have to be available and up all the time. Our payment systems have to function. The work’s never done. But that's also why I think military folks do so well in this environment. We are trained to be kind of calm in the chaos. I've always wanted to be around the smartest people, aligned to the most critical things. We invest in talent because we can't get it wrong. Work-life balance is feeding the right culture of the organization. I love running. It's not all work all the time. And you got to take the time for yourself. That differentiates JPMorgan Chase from a lot of our competitors. And certainly what I see among other tech companies. Family for me is kind of a center of everything I do. I'm helping to protect them and give them, hopefully, a better world than the one I grew up in. We're always evaluating new technology, but then the adversary does something you don't expect, and you have to react to that. I'm a bit uncomfortable when it's calm, but the reality is …if we don't find it, someone else will. ###

Podcast: In Machines We Trust - Hired by an algorithm MIT Technology Review 2021-06-23 | If you’ve applied for a job lately, it’s all but guaranteed that your application was reviewed by software—in most cases, before a human ever laid eyes on it. In this episode, the first in a four-part investigation into automated hiring practices, we speak with the CEOs of ZipRecruiter and Career Builder, and one of the architects of LinkedIn’s algorithmic job-matching system, to explore how AI is increasingly playing matchmaker between job searchers and employers. But while software helps speed up the process of sifting through the job market, algorithms have a history of biasing the opportunities they present to people by gender, race...and in at least one case, whether you played lacrosse in high school.Part 2: youtu.be/BAnU4yq0QzoPart 3: youtu.be/hX8fSu9otNsWe Meet:Mark Girouard, Attorney, Nilan Johnson LewisIan Siegel, CEO, ZipRecruiterJohn Jersin, former Vice President of Product Management, LinkedInIrina Novoselsky, CEO, CareerBuilderWe Talked To:Mark Girouard, Attorney, Nilan Johnson LewisIan Siegel, CEO, ZipRecruiterJohn Jersin, former Vice President of Product Management, LinkedInIrina Novoselsky, CEO, CareerBuilderDerek Kan, Vice President of Product Management, MonsterAleksandra Korolova, Assistant Professor of Computer Science, University of Southern CaliforniaBrian Kropp, Vice President Research, GartnerMatthew Neale, Vice President of Assessment Products, Criteria CorpJosh Bersin, Research AnalystJonathan Kestenbaum, Co-Founder and Managing Director, Talent Tech LabsSuresh Venkatasubramanian, Assistant Director, White House Office of Science and Technology PolicySounds From:How to Keep a Job, Coronet Instructional Films: archive.org/details/HowtoKee1949Curious Thing AI (Sound from their AI tool)Credits:This episode was reported by Hilke Schellmann, and produced by Jennifer Strong, Emma Cillekens and Anthony Green with special thanks to Karen Hao.
