“如果说十五年后会出现非常有用的量子计算机，那可能还为时过早。如果说三十年，或许又有些过于悲观；NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang admitted on Tuesday that practical applications of Quantum Computing are still several decades away. After a significant drop on Tuesday, related Concept Stocks saw an even greater decline on Wednesday, with IonQ falling by 39% and Quantum Computing down by 43.34%. Previously, these companies' stock prices had soared due to market expectations for the potential of the related technology, with Quantum Computing increasing by over 1800% in the past 12 months.
The recently heated topic of Quantum Computing was doused with cold water by Huang, causing many 'potential stocks' to plummet overnight.
On Tuesday,$NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$During the Q&A session of the company's Analyst Day, CEO Huang candidly remarked that a "very useful" quantum computer may still take decades to arrive. He stated:
"If we say that a very useful quantum computer will emerge in fifteen years, that might be too early. If we say thirty years, that could be overly pessimistic; if we say twenty years, I think many of us would believe that."
Huang Renxun's comments have triggered a strong reaction in the Capital Markets. Companies related to Quantum Computing concepts saw a significant drop in their stock prices on Wednesday. $IonQ Inc (IONQ.US)$ After a drop of over 47.7%, it closed down 39%.$Quantum Computing (QUBT.US)$After a drop of over 51.4%, it closed down 43.34%. $D-Wave Quantum (QBTS.US)$ After a drop of over 51.3%, it closed down 36.13%.$Rigetti Computing (RGTI.US)$After a sharp drop of over 50.8%, it closed down 45.51%.
