The CEO of USA quantum computing company D-Wave Quantum, Alan Baratz, stated that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's views on quantum computing are "completely wrong." Previously, Huang's comments that it would take at least 15 years for quantum computers to achieve practical applications frightened Wall Street, causing a significant drop in related stocks, including D-Wave.
Baratz said that companies, including MasterCard and Japan's NTT, are currently using D-Wave's quantum computers in production, "not in 30 years, not in 20 years, and not in 15 years. But now, today." Baratz added that while Huang's "comments may not be completely wrong for gate model quantum computers, they are 100% wrong for annealing quantum computers." "I would be happy to meet with Jensen Huang at any time and at any place to help him fill in those gaps." (CNBC)
