NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) has announced its inaugural Quantum Day, set to take place on Mar. 20 during the GTC 2025 event. The announcement comes just days after CEO Jensen Huang stated that practical quantum computing may still be two decades away.
What Happened: The event is set to spotlight the swift advancements in quantum computing, a technology expected to transform sectors like drug discovery, materials science, and financial forecasting. Huang will spearhead discussions with leaders from key industry players, including Alice & Bob, Atom Computing, IONQ Inc (NYSE:IONQ) and D-Wave (NYSE:QBTS), the company said in a blog post on Wednesday.

Quantum Day will offer sessions exploring both the current and future potentials of quantum technology. These sessions will be led by Huang and other experts from the quantum field. Additionally, a developer day session will emphasize collaborations between NVIDIA and its partners to advance quantum computing technologies.
Why It Matters: Last week, during Nvidia's Analyst Day, CEO Huang shared his optimism about the future of quantum computing but cautioned that practical applications could still be 15 to 30 years away.
"If you kind of said 15 years for very useful quantum computers, that would probably be on the early side. If you said 30, it's probably on the late side," he said.
Huang’s comments were backed by Meta Platforms Inc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg. During his appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast Saturday, Zuckerberg admitted his limited expertise on the subject but aligned with the industry consensus, suggesting a decade-long timeline for the widespread adoption of quantum computing.

Meanwhile, despite Huang stating that practical quantum computing might be two decades away, NVIDIA is investing heavily in its future. The company is strategically hiring to strengthen its quantum computing capabilities. This indicates NVIDIA’s long-term commitment to integrating quantum and classical computing systems.
