Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said on Wednesday (11) that quantum computing is reaching a point of inflection and should begin to solve real world problems in the coming years. The statement was made during the Paris GTC, an event for developers promoted by the company as part of the Vivatech fair in the French capital.
“We are available to apply quantum computers in areas that can solve interesting problems in the coming years,” Huang said by presenting the Nvidia hybrid solution, the Q Cuda, which combines elements of classic and quantum computing.
Quantum computing uses the principles of quantum mechanics to process information with the so -called quibits – which, unlike traditional bits, can represent zero, one or intermediate states. This allows the processing of large data volumes, with the potential to impact sectors such as medicine, science and finance.

Huang praised the “great ecosystem” of quantum companies in Europe and reported meeting with representatives of the French startup Pasqal on the eve of the event.
The executive had already made more skeptical statements about the pace of advancement of technology, previously suggesting a period of 20 years for the practical application of quantum computers. Then he acknowledged that his comments negatively impacted the market and said they were misunderstood.
In addition to Nvidia, other industry giants are still investing in the area. At the end of 2024, Google announced the quantum Willow chip, highlighting advances in error correction techniques – one of the main challenges of technology.

On Tuesday (10), and a much larger system until 2033, including the quantum computer “Starling”, with about 200 logical quibits.
The theme has also been attracting Capitla to the bag. In the second, IONQ announced the acquisition of British Oxford Ionics for US $ 1.1 billion, and its shares rose 3.7% – but already retreating 0.80% on Wednesday.
