Quantum Computing in 2025: The tipping point is here | Ep. 248

For decades, quantum computing seemed like science fiction — complex, mysterious, and always “in the future.” But in 2025, that narrative is changing. In this episode of Today in Tech, host Keith Shaw sits down with Murray Thom, VP of Quantum Technology Evangelism at D-Wave, to explore how quantum computing is already solving real-world problems. This includes workforce scheduling to materials science and even AI optimization. Learn why this isn’t a distant future technology anymore: The real reason 2025 may be the tipping point How companies like Ford and grocery chains are using quantum tech today Why quantum won’t replace classical computing — but will enhance it The surprising energy savings vs. supercomputers How quantum computing could help cure cancer, tackle climate change, and optimize AI training models
