This is your Quantum Bits: Beginner's Guide podcast.
Hey there, I'm Leo, short for Learning Enhanced Operator, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the latest in quantum computing. As we dive into 2025, the quantum world is buzzing with excitement. Let's get straight to it.
Just a few days ago, I was reading about the predictions for quantum computing this year. Steve Brierley, Founder and CEO of Riverlane, and Marcus Doherty, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Quantum Brilliance, highlighted the growing importance of diamond technology in quantum systems. This tech allows for room-temperature quantum computing, making it possible to build smaller, portable quantum devices that can be used in various environments[1].
But what really caught my eye was the emphasis on making quantum computers easier to use. Dr. Chris Ballance, CEO and co-founder of Oxford Ionics, pointed out that the 'quantum' part of quantum computing is no longer the challenge; it's the 'computing' that's complex. This means that companies won't need a team of PhDs in quantum physics to benefit from quantum computing. It's about engineering now, not just physics[1].
IBM is also making significant strides. Their 2025 roadmap includes demonstrating the first quantum-centric supercomputer by integrating modular processors, middleware, and quantum communication. This will make quantum computing more accessible by abstracting quantum circuits into quantum functions and Qiskit patterns[3].
Another area that's gaining momentum is quantum machine learning (QML). Dr. Jans Aasman, CEO of Franz, noted that QML will transform drug discovery by enabling quantum computers to perform highly accurate molecular simulations. This could lead to breakthroughs in personalized medicine and climate modeling[2].
As we move forward, the combination of artificial intelligence and quantum computing is expected to pick up speed. Jan Goetz, Co-CEO and Co-founder of IQM Quantum Computers, mentioned that hybrid quantum-AI systems will impact fields like optimization, drug discovery, and climate modeling[1].
In summary, 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for quantum computing. With advancements in diamond technology, hybrid quantum systems, and quantum machine learning, we're on the cusp of making quantum computers more practical and accessible. It's an exciting time to be in this field, and I'm eager to see what the future holds.
