Quantum? No solace: Nvidia CEO sinks QC stocks with ’20 years off’ forecast
CES The quantum computing industry seems to be just as delicate as the qubits it relies on. Shares in some publicly traded QC companies saw steep declines today, following Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's CES rather reasonable remark that practical quantum systems may still be 20 years away. Speaking at a financial analyst Q&A session at the electronics super-conference yesterday, Huang said (39:30 into the video) the world is probably five to six orders of magnitude away from the number of qubits needed to make practical quantum computers - and he doesn't expect anyone to break that threshold anytime soon.
