As governments, technology leaders, and financial institutions accelerate investment into quantum computing, a growing gap has emerged between public perception and technical reality. To address this disconnect, Quranium published a report, “Quantum Computing: State of Play 2025 – Global Landscape and the Convergence with Emerging Technologies,” offering a fact-based assessment of where quantum computing truly stands today, and what this means for the systems that underpin global finance, security, and digital infrastructure.

The report arrives at a critical moment. Billions of dollars are already being deployed across hardware development, national quantum programs, and hybrid compute infrastructure. The divergence between narrative and reality has left many decision-makers without a clear basis for assessing risk, readiness, and strategic timing.

It cuts through the hype to present a grounded view of quantum computing as it exists today. Drawing on measurable progress across multiple hardware architectures, advances in error correction, and expanding institutional deployment, the report emphasizes quantum computing not as a distant breakthrough event, but as a structural transition already in motion.

Rather than focusing on speculative timelines or isolated qubit milestones, the report examines:

• The current, real-world capabilities of quantum systems, including where they are already being used today.
• The evolving hardware landscape, covering superconducting, trapped-ion, photonic, neutral-atom, silicon-spin, and emerging topological approaches.
• Tangible progress in error correction, including early signals that fault-tolerant systems are becoming technically plausible.
• The emergence of a three-processor computing model, where CPUs, GPUs, and quantum processors serve distinct but complementary roles.
• The global quantum race, mapping national strategies, public-sector investment, and long-term institutional commitments.
• The implications for cryptography, blockchain, and digital security, as quantum systems mature from research tools into strategic infrastructure.

A central conclusion of the report is that the next phase of quantum adoption will be defined by institutional readiness. Between 2025 and 2030, organizations face a narrowing window in which decisions around cryptography, data durability, system architecture, and regulatory alignment will determine long-term resilience or exposure.

Commenting on the release, Kapil Dhiman, CEO and Co-Founder of Quranium, said:

“Quantum computing is no longer a distant or theoretical concept. It is progressing along measurable trajectories, supported by real investment, improving hardware stability, and expanding institutional engagement. This report is designed to replace uncertainty and hype with clarity, helping leaders understand not just where quantum computing may go, but where it already stands today. The growth is exponential, with permanent consequences for security and critical infrastructure.

Quantum Computing: State of Play 2025 report positions quantum computing as a structural shift in the global compute stack, with implications that extend well beyond research laboratories. As hybrid quantum-classical systems mature and post-quantum cryptography becomes unavoidable for long-lived data and value systems, quantum readiness is emerging as a strategic requirement rather than a theoretical concern.
