Quantum Computing Could Achieve Singularity In 2025—A ChatGPT Moment

There are more eyes on quantum computing (QC) today than there were on generative AI the day before ChatGPT was released in November 2022. This should give everyone pause as to what is possible for QC in 2025. Agentic AI and QC have dominated headlines in the early days of 2025. On one side, there is widespread agreement that 2025 is already the year of agentic and physical AI. On the other, skepticism persists regarding QC’s ability to become both commonplace and profitable anytime soon—especially after NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s statement at CES 2025 that “very useful” quantum computing is still 20 years away. Yet, both perspectives face their detractors. Prominent AI experts like Gary Marcus and Rodney Brooks have argued that AI’s short-term potential is overhyped and its ROI elusive, criticisms that remain relevant in 2025. This is why agentic AI has gained traction: it narrows the scope of AI applications, focusing on targeted tasks to maximize gains from current technology rather than striving for more ambitious general AI. Conversely, several QC providers have challenged Huang’s prediction of a 20-year timeline for useful QC. They assert that QC is already commercially viable for specific operations and that work toward broader applications continues steadily. D-Wave Quantum CEO Alan Baratz, for instance, declared that Huang is “dead wrong” about QC’s readiness. Furth
