Shares of D-Wave Quantum and its peers plunged on Wednesday after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang suggested that quantum computers are decades away. D-Wave CEO Alan Baratz told CNBC that Huang is 'dead wrong' and that his company has big paying clients today.Jensen Huang is 'dead wrong' about quantum computing after comments from the head of the chip giant spooked Wall Street on Wednesday. Huang was asked on Tuesday about Nvidia's strategy for quantum computing.
He said Nvidia could make conventional chips that are needed alongside quantum computing chips, but that those computers would need 1 million times the number of quantum processing units, called qubits, than they currently have.'The reason he's wrong is that we at D-Wave are commercial today,' Baratz told CNBC's Deidre Bosa on'The Exchange.' Baratz said companies including'Not 30 years from now, not 20 years from now, not 15 years from now,' Baratz said.'But right now today.'Quantum computing promises to solve problems that are difficult for current processors, such as decoding encryption, generating random numbers and large-scale simulations. Technologists have been working on it for decades, and companies including Nvidia,Jensen Huang, co-founder and chief executive officer of Nvidia Corp., speaks while holding a Project Digits computer during the 2025 CES event in Las Vegas, Nevada, US, on Monday, Jan. 6, 2025.

But he said uses an annealing approach, which can be deployed now. While Huang's'comments may not be totally off-base for gate model quantum computers, well, they are 100% off base for annealing quantum computers,' Baratz sai
