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 vis

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.

Quantum stocks tumble as Nvidia’s cautious timeline and Zuckerberg’s doubts spark sell-offs, while D-Wave CEO argues quantum tech is delivering value today.

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.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s recent comments about quantum computing’s timeline sent shockwaves through the industry’s pure-play stocks. But for investors with a sizeable risk appetite, the selloff in quantum computing names like Quantum Computing (QUBT),

Wave, says commercial quantum computers are not "decades away" after share prices dramatically fell this week.

The drop in stocks came after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's Q&A with analysts at CES in Las Vegas. When answering a question about the future of quantum computing, he said the timeline may be between 15 and 30 years until there is "very useful" quantum computers. This is the relevant quote from Huang:

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.

Rigetti Computing is at the forefront of the quantum computing industry, but the company has a speculative stock valuation.
