Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang's simple reminder that useful quantum computing is a long way off has somehow caused industry stocks to plummet

A photo of a quantum computer hanging from the ceiling of a clean room laboratory.

Remember when a computer meant something that used traditional, familiar algorithms? Ah, simple times. Now we not only have machine learning—aka, supposed "artificial intelligence"—but also quantum computing, which uses microwaves to get qubits to do wacky and seemingly impossible things. Regarding the latter kinds of computers, though, Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang reckons we're quite far from seeing actually useful ones.

That's straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak, which you can witness for yourself by skipping to 40:00 in the video of the CEO's recent investor Q&A (via The Register) held at CES 2025.
