Microsoft’s COO Mitra Azizirad commented that 2025 would be the year that the world became “quantum ready” and that “we are at the advent of the reliable quantum computing era”. Shares of quantum computing stocks, such as IonQ and Rigetti Computing have sprung back to life following this positive outlook after the significant dips seen last week.
Quantum computing is not a foreign concept. The concept of using quantum mechanics to process information has long been acknowledged, but has been held back due to technological limitations. This stemmed largely from the fact that qubits (the building blocks of quantum cumputing) are very sensitive to changes in their environment. This would result in programme errors that are hard and expensive to fix. However, technological advancements means that quantum computing is become increasingly integrated into global systems, by the likes of Google and IBM. These advancements could lead to major breakthroughs in AI and medicine that weren’t even thought to be possible in the past.
