At Nvidia's GTC, CEO Jensen Huang acknowledged his past dismissive comments about quantum computing during the inaugural Quantum Day, which he framed as an apology. Yet, scepticism among panelists lingered regarding his contrition and genuine belief in the technology's potential, especially in light of the significant stock drops experienced by quantum firms after his earlier remarks. The event showcased discussions involving leaders from emerging quantum companies alongside established tech researchers, highlighting the field's growing global visibility even amidst doubts about Huang's sincerity and the future of quantum computing.
The GTC quantum panels featured three conversations between executives from up-and-coming quantum computing companies, including Quantinuum, IonQ, and SEEQC, and quantum-focused researchers from established tech giants like Microsoft and Amazon Web Services.
Some panelists weren't convinced that Huang was sufficiently repentant for his declarations - or even that he took the growing field seriously.
