This is your Quantum Research Now podcast.

Welcome back to Quantum Research Now. I'm Leo, and today I've got something that'll shift how you think about the future of computing.

Picture this: it's November 28th, 2025, and while most people are recovering from Thanksgiving, the quantum computing world just experienced its own breakthrough moment. WisdomTree launched the Quantum Computing Fund today, opening doors for everyday investors to access the quantum ecosystem. But here's what really matters—this isn't just financial news. It's a signal that quantum computing has crossed from science fiction into institutional reality.

Let me paint you a scene. Imagine classical computing as a massive library where a librarian searches for one book at a time. You ask for a solution, they walk through every shelf methodically until they find it. Now imagine quantum computing as a different beast entirely. Our quantum librarian exists in what we call superposition—they're checking multiple shelves simultaneously, in parallel universes of possibility, until the answer crystallizes into existence.

That's what makes today significant. According to industry analysis from Bain and Company, quantum computing has moved dramatically closer to real-world applications over the past two years. We're talking about a potential $250 billion impact across pharmaceuticals and finance. Tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon aren't dabbling anymore—they're fully committed. Google CEO Sundar Pichai just stated publicly that quantum is positioned where AI was five years ago. Five years before the AI explosion we've all witnessed.

Here's the dramatic part: researchers at the University of Chicago just unveiled erbium-based molecular qubits that could transmit quantum information using existing fiber-optic networks. Think of it this way—imagine trying to build a highway system in a country with no roads. Now imagine discovering you can use the roads already there. That's revolutionary. These qubits bridge magnetism and optics, encoding information magnetically while reading it with light compatible with current technology infrastructure.

The implications are staggering. UTahQuantum, a new startup, is already positioning itself to help enterprises prepare for what they're calling the post-quantum era. They're not waiting for perfect quantum computers—they're building practical solutions for encryption, data management, and cybersecurity today.

What excites me most? Early applications in simulation and optimization could push the quantum market to between five and fifteen billion dollars by 2035. But that's the conservative estimate. The real potential stretches far beyond what we can currently imagine.

The quantum revolution isn't coming. It's here, accelerating, reshaping how we'll solve humanity's most complex problems.
