Talking point: Two months ago, the share prices of some quantum computing firms halved after Huang’s comments dampened a period of exuberant trading for the sector. Claims of major hardware and testing breakthroughs in the field have since helped reverse some of those declines. But Huang didn’t revise his timeline on Thursday, instead asking the 12 quantum computing executives assembled, which included the CEO of British Columbia-founded D-Wave, on stage to explain their technology. He also suggested rebranding their machines as scientific instruments that will work with classical computers, rather than replace them. Shares of D-Wave fell 18 per cent in Thursday trading.
