Why is quantum computing still so hard to explain clearly, even for smart investors?
In this episode of Beyond the Qubit, Frank Dekker sits down with Olivier Ezratty, one of the most respected independent voices in quantum technology. Olivier shares how he went from software engineering and Microsoft to becoming a key educator, researcher, and bridge builder across the quantum ecosystem.
This conversation is for investors, founders, and deep tech professionals who want a clearer view of quantum computing without the hype. They discuss what sparked Olivier’s obsession with the field, why so many people still explain quantum poorly, and what it really takes to understand the space across hardware, software, physics, and market reality.
💡 In this episode, we cover:
How Olivier Ezratty became one of the most trusted independent researchers in quantum computing
Why early D-Wave claims pushed him to study quantum more seriously
How Understanding Quantum Technologies grew into a major free resource
Why investors need to connect physics, hardware, and software to understand the market
What Europe gets right in quantum, and where it still struggles commercially
Why the Quantum Energy Initiative matters for the future of the industry
