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

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.

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.
