In this interview, [Anthony Rose](https://seedlegals.com/resources/author/anthony/) (Founder & CEO at SeedLegals) speaks with [Eloisa Angeles](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elwisia/) , Principal at the [Eden-based Quantum Fund](https://www.edenbase.com) , to unpack what’s really happening in the space, and why it matters. Eloisa breaks down quantum computing in simple terms, explaining why it’s not just a faster version of today’s technology, but a completely new way of solving problems that were previously impossible. From drug discovery to optimization and modelling complex systems, the potential impact is enormous. She also shares where the technology actually is today, what needs to happen before we reach “quantum advantage”, and why the next few years could be a turning point. For founders and investors alike, this is a practical look at one of the most important (and least understood) shifts in tech. ## **Key takeaways** ### **The problem with quantum today** - Quantum computing is widely discussed, but still feels complex, inaccessible and hard to apply for most founders. - Current systems are limited by low numbers of usable qubits, restricting real-world applications. - Many investors and founders struggle to engage with the space due to long timelines and unclear commercial use cases. ### **The solution: a new way of computing** - Quantum computing offers a completely different approach to computation, not just faster processing. - It enables solutions to previously impossible problems in areas like drug discovery, optimization and simulation - The ecosystem is expanding beyond hardware into software, infrastructure and cloud access, making it increasingly usable. ### **Traction and what’s next** - Quantum computers already exist, with major players like IBM building early systems. - The key milestone is reaching ~100 logical qubits, expected between 2026 and 2029, unlocking “quantum advantage”.
