Jensen Huang’s comments at last week’s CES about quantum computing being decades away stirred up discussion within the quantum industry.

Therefore, Huang's prediction that quantum computers won't go mainstream for 15 to 30 years sounds reasonable. It took Nvidia about two decades for its gaming and professional visualization graphics processing units (GPUs) to evolve into AI accelerators for data centers.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang claims quantum computing is decades away, but is it really? The quantum era isn’t decades away — it’s unfolding in real-time.

CEO Jensen Huang lit the entire quantum computing sector on fire last night after saying the technology won’t be “very useful” for at least 15 years and maybe as many as 30 years. He may as well have poured gasoline on the industry and thrown in a lit match.

Quantum Computing didn't have any news of its own to report, but the company is even smaller than D-Wave, with less than $1 million in revenue over the last four quarters. Its stock has soared even higher than D-Wave's over the last year, a disconnect that could lead to a continued decline in Quantum Computing's shares.

Quantum stocks like Rigetti, IonQ and D-Wave Quantum saw steep losses after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said quantum computers are decades away.

Wave fell sharply after Nvidia’s Jensen Huang said that “very simple quantum computers” could be 20 years away.

Shares of Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) climbed 7% as NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:NVDA) announced plans to host its first Quantum (NASDAQ:QMCO) Day at the GPU Technology Conference (GTC) 2025, sparking enthusiasm in the quantum computing sector.

One of Wall Street’s most speculative trades just had some of the froth wiped out in dramatic fashion. The outlook is looking murky from here onwards.

First, D-Wave Quantum CEO Alan Baratz said that Huang was “dead wrong.” He said that his company is “commercial today,” and its services are be
