D-Wave CEO Counters Huang Renxun: Quantum Computing Timeline 'Grossly Misconceived'
2025-01-09

Alan Baratz, the Chief Executive Officer of D-Wave Quantum, has firmly rejected the assertion by NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun that the realization of quantum computing is 15 to 30 years away, branding it 'grossly misconceived.' Baratz underscored that D-Wave's quantum computers have already transitioned into the commercial realm, being actively utilized by various companies in their operational processes. Despite the company's modest revenue figures, the quantum computing industry has garnered immense interest, resulting in a remarkable surge in market valuation. He emphasized that Huang's perspective might be confined to a specific quantum computing approach, whereas D-Wave's methodology is readily deployable. Additionally, the challenges tackled by D-Wave's systems surpass the capabilities of NVIDIA's systems.
