Quantum technology is rapidly growing with job demand tripling in the US according to the MIT Quantum Index Report 2025, which finds, however, that large-scale commercial applications for quantum computing still remain "far off." Research scientist Jonathan Ruane calls the report a "community-led project" and encourages people to contribute additional data. He says that while a report will be published annually, data on its website will be updated "as often as input is given."
