Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Calls Quantum Computing an 'Inflection Point,' Sparking Rally in Quantum Stocks
Jun 11, 2025
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that quantum computing technology is reaching an 'inflection point,' meaning it is close to making a significant impact. Huang made these comments at the VivaTech conference and at Nvidia's GTC Paris developer event. He explained that quantum computers may soon be able to solve real-world problems that traditional computers cannot handle.
This statement marks a shift from Huang's earlier, more cautious view about the timeline for useful quantum computing. Previously, he suggested it could take 15 to 20 years before practical results would be seen. Now, he suggests that useful applications are possible 'in the coming years.'
Following Huang's remarks, stocks of several quantum computing companies, including Quantum Computing (QUBT), D-Wave, Rigetti, and IonQ, saw sharp increases. Investors responded to the view that advances in quantum computing may be closer than previously thought.
In addition to his comments on quantum computing, Huang highlighted the fast growth of artificial intelligence (AI) in Europe, with plans for over 20 new 'AI factories' and significant partnerships with European governments and companies.
