Beyond the Qubit

Summary interview Koen Groenland

21 Aug 2025

Description

"Quantum computers aren’t fast — they’re slow, error-prone, and difficult to scale. So why do experts like Koen Groenland believe they could still transform entire industries? Find out in this episode of Beyond the Qubit."In this episode, Frank Dekker speaks with Koen Groenland — physicist, PhD from CWI, author of Introduction to Quantum Computing for Business, and innovation officer at the University of Amsterdam. Koen has spent years at the intersection of academia and entrepreneurship, helping to translate quantum research into real-world applications while growing the Dutch start-up ecosystem through Quantum Amsterdam.Koen explains: • Why quantum computers aren’t “faster computers” but something fundamentally different. • How quantum algorithms, not hardware speed, will drive breakthroughs. • Why error correction is the biggest bottleneck — and what new approaches like surface codes and low-density parity check codes could mean for future platforms. • How encryption and blockchain could be impacted when hardware and algorithms finally meet. • Why he believes the Netherlands can become a global hub for quantum technology.Please check out the presentation from Koen:https://drive.google.com/file/d/17XnSkwlj1IWm3xZgsqyDx9u2ExSp5aGJ/view?usp=sharingYoutube:https://youtu.be/721ZdBjXPCc
