Nvidia should be 'shaking in their boots' as quantum computing battles AI GPUs

yawn Maybe d-wave should put up or shut up. QC companies and bro-advocates have been saying this for years and there's been very little use outside of pure r&d labs. I don't believe that QC is going to have the ease of use, time to deployment, and relative low-cost that GPUs are going to have any time soon - if ever.

Nvidia has more money than God. Worst case they'll buy the competition.

....do quantum computers and GPUs have a lot of overlap in the types of tasks they compute ? I was under the impression they solve quite different problems

Sounds like another hype cycle coming...

If you think programming a GPU is hard, try to learn how to do a factorial on one of those quantum emulators. Here is Microsoft one, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/quantum/qdk-main-ove...
