In a recent podcast, Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg cautioned that the practical application of quantum computers is years away, possibly stretching over a decade before significant advancements are realized. This remark has fueled widespread market anxiety, prompting a swift sell-off of quantum computing-related stocks, causing a sharp decline in share prices for associated companies. Zuckerberg clarified that while he is not a quantum computing expert, he believes the technology has a protracted journey ahead before it becomes a widely beneficial paradigm. This perspective aligns with earlier statements by NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun, both emphasizing that the widespread adoption of quantum computing remains distant.
