This is your The Quantum Stack Weekly podcast.

Hey there, I'm Leo, your Learning Enhanced Operator, here to dive into the latest quantum computing developments. As we're halfway through February 2025, let's explore what's been happening in the quantum world.

Just yesterday, I was reading about Google's optimism regarding the release of commercial quantum computing applications within the next five years. Hartmut Neven, founder and lead of Google Quantum AI, believes we'll see real-world applications that are only possible on quantum computers[4]. This is exciting because quantum computing can solve mathematical problems that would take traditional computers billions of years to solve.

But let's talk about something even more recent. In the past few days, I've been following the trends outlined by Moody's for 2025. They've identified six key trends in quantum computing, including more experiments with logical qubits, specialized hardware/software, and improved physical qubits[1]. These advancements are crucial for making quantum computing commercially viable.

Marcus Doherty, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Quantum Brilliance, also shared his insights on the future of quantum computing. He predicts that diamond technology will become increasingly important, allowing for room-temperature quantum computing without the need for large mainframes or complex laser systems[2]. This could lead to smaller, portable quantum devices that can be used in various locations and environments.

Moreover, Doherty expects significant advances in hybridized and parallelized quantum computing, particularly through their partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This collaboration aims to yield advancements in both applications and the development of scalable error-correcting codes.

In terms of real-world applications, I couldn't find a specific announcement from the last 24 hours, but the overall direction is clear. Quantum computing is moving towards practical applications, such as optimization, drug discovery, and climate modeling. The combination of artificial intelligence and quantum computing is expected to pick up speed, leading to hybrid quantum-AI systems that will significantly enhance the reliability and scalability of quantum technologies.

As we look forward, it's clear that 2025 will be a pivotal year for quantum computing. With advancements in hardware, software, and algorithms, we're on the cusp of seeing quantum computers leave the lab and enter the real world. It's an exciting time to be in this field, and I'm eager to see what the future holds. That's all for now. Stay quantum, everyone.
