What I am doing
I am a consultant and author on quantum technologies working with businesses and public services. I created the open-source book “Understanding Quantum Technologies”, with its 5th edition published in 2022. I am also the coordinator of the quantum elective at EPITA, a trainer at CapGemini and CEA INSTN and an independent expert for the French government as part of the France 2030 plans as well as for Bpifrance. I cofounded the Quantum Energy Initiative in 2022 along with Alexia Auffèves (CNRS MajuLab Singapore) and Robert Whitney (CNRS LPMMC in Grenoble).

Past topics
Between 2006 and 2021, I published many other open source ebooks: Les usages de l’intelligence artificielle (2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021) as well as the CES Las Vegas Report, each January from 2006 to 2020, and the Startup Guide, which became a reference in France with more than 400,000 downloads, between 2006 and 2019). These books were published on my blog “Opinions Libres” (www.oezratty.net) which deals with technological innovation from the scientific, technological, entrepreneurial and innovation public policies and now, mainly about quantum technologies.
Since 2005, I carried out various missions in different verticals such as the media and telecoms (Orange, Bouygues Télécom, TDF, Médiamétrie, BVA, Astra), finance and insurance (BPCE group, Caisse des Dépôts, Société Générale, Swiss Life, Crédit Agricole, Crédit Mutuel-CIC, Generali, MAIF), industry and services (Schneider, Camfil, Vinci, NTN-STR, Econocom, ADP, Air France, Airbus) and in the public sector (Ministry of Defense, CEA, Météo France, Bpifrance, Business France, Douanes Françaises, Inria, European Union).
QFDN
I am also the co-initiator in 2012 of Quelques Femmes du Numérique ! (“some digital women”, www.qfdn.net) which became an association in 2016, and aims to increase gender balance in digital professions, by raising awareness among young people about these professions. I am the portraits photographer for the initiative and I also developed their new web site launched in April 2021.
Before
I was initially a software engineer and developer in electronic publishing, starting in 1985 at Sogitec, a subsidiary of the Dassault group, where I was consecutively Software Engineer, then Head of the Research Department in the Communication Division. I initialized developments under Windows 1.0 in the field of editorial computing as well as on SGML, the ancestor of HTML and XML.
Joining Microsoft France in 1990, I gained experience in many areas of the marketing mix. I launched the first version of Visual Basic in 1991 and Windows NT in 1993. In 1998, I became Marketing and Communication Director of Microsoft France and in 2001, Director of the Developer Division, which I created in France to launch the .NET platform and promote it to developers, higher education and research, as well as to startups. These were 15 very busy years but a long time ago.
Education
I am a software engineer from Centrale Paris (1985), which became CentraleSupelec in 2015.
