While widespread quantum computing may still be a few years away, the question remains: why might businesses be interested in quantum computers in 2025?
TI has gathered expert predictions on what the technology is expected to deliver. Experts anticipate significant progress in industries such as pharmaceuticals, finance, and logistics, but also highlight ongoing challenges like scaling, energy consumption, and knowledge gaps.
Nevertheless, with government investments and growing industry collaboration, 2025 is poised to lay the foundation for broader quantum adoption, marked by key milestones and breakthroughs.
Quantum adoption and maturity
Chris Royles, EMEA field CTO, Cloudera
“Quantum computing is set to overshadow AI as the next major technological revolution. Rapid development is underway, with organisations investing heavily in next-generation data centres… quantum technology will also be offered as a cloud service, enabling businesses to access its power without building their own infrastructure.”
Chris Royles, EMEA field CTO, Cloudera
Florian Neukart, chief product officer, Terra Quantum
“In 2025, we anticipate the quantum technology industry will hit pivotal milestones, particularly in the integration of hybrid quantum-classical systems. Industries like pharmaceuticals, logistics, and financial services will adopt quantum solutions at scale, showcasing tangible ROI from quantum computing.”
“Several factors will fuel quantum industry growth in 2025… the maturation of hybrid quantum-classical systems will make quantum technologies more practical and commercially viable, encouraging widespread industry adoption.”
Robert Haist, CISO, TeamViewer
“In 2025 we’ll see an uptick in mainstream awareness of quantum computing and companies will start taking the looming post-quantum world more seriously… While I think we’re still a minimum of five years away from ‘Q Day’—when quantum computers finally break encryption algorithms—that could change quickly.”
Technological developments in quantum
Greg Squibbs, founder, Start Your AI Agency
“This year innovation will revolve around technologies that enhance automation, connectivity, and personalisation. At the forefront will be Generative AI… Quantum computing will also make big strides. Though still in its infancy, it is expected to solve complex optimisation problems in logistics, cryptography, and financial markets.”
Florian Neukart, chief product officer, Terra Quantum
“We anticipate that this year the quantum technology industry will hit pivotal milestones… The emergence of more standardised quantum hardware ecosystems, paving the way for greater interoperability and accessibility.”
Quantum supply, demand, and challenges
Pascal Brier, chief innovation officer, Capgemini
“According to the upcoming Capgemini Research Institute survey, 55% of top executives and 44% of VCs expect quantum computing to be one of the top 3 technologies within the ‘Computing & Networking’ space which will create a major impact in 2025.
“The same research revealed that over 40% of top executives expect to be experimenting with quantum computing Proofs of Concepts with limited use cases.”
