Quantum Academy
A three-hour live online course for investors and analysts on judging quantum technology claims, companies and risks across computing, networking, sensing and post-quantum security
CHICAGO, November 9, 2026 – Quantum Academy will teach Quantum Technology for Investors, a three-hour course on due diligence for quantum technology investments, live online on December 7, 2026, from 07:00 to 10:00 UTC for participants in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific. A live online seat costs US$599.
We designed this course for venture capital and private equity professionals, sovereign wealth fund and equity research analysts, institutional investors and the corporate development teams that evaluate quantum technology investments. Participants need no background in physics.
In the first hour, participants review the four domains of quantum technology. They compare the five hardware approaches to quantum computing and their realistic timelines, the deployment status of quantum key distribution, the sensing devices that can be deployed today and the companies that supply post-quantum migration programs. They also assess the reliability of published market size estimates.
Participants then apply a due diligence framework to quantum technology companies. Without being physicists themselves, they judge whether a company’s technical claims are credible. They also assess the team, the market timing, the competition, the intellectual property and the path to revenue in each domain.
In the last hour, participants assess technology, market, competitive and timeline risk, including dependence on government funding and exposure to export controls. They also compare the timelines and risk profiles of quantum computing investments with those of post-quantum security investments.
Participants receive the course handbook, a PDF copy of Quantum Sovereignty, the book on quantum geopolitics and supply chains that Marin Ivezic co-wrote with Luka Ivezic, and a certificate of completion. Participants who want more technical grounding can add Quantum Computing for Executives, live online on April 26, 2027. Those who follow sovereignty and export controls can take Quantum Supply Chains and Geopolitics on June 30, 2027.
Further live online sessions are scheduled for January 29, 2027, from 15:00 to 18:00 UTC for the Americas, and February 26, 2027, from 07:00 to 10:00 UTC for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific. Another session for the Americas is scheduled for May 7, 2027, from 15:00 to 18:00 UTC. The course page has the full outline and a justification letter for internal approval. Teams can request private training at training@quantumacademy.com.
