On the Eve of the Quantum Computing Wave: Why Nvidia Might Emerge as the Biggest Winner?
Amidst the prevailing market perception that quantum computing remains a distant, sci-fi concept, Barclays' latest research challenges this view, arguing that the technology is on the verge of transitioning from a "lab toy" to a commercial tool. The report highlights several key misconceptions:
First, quantum computing is not "too early"; the industry is approaching a watershed moment around 2026–2027 when "quantum advantage" is expected to be demonstrated, requiring stable operation of 100 logical qubits.
Second, quantum computers will not replace classical systems like GPUs but instead complement them. Each logical qubit may require a GPU for error correction and control, potentially driving significant demand for chips from companies like NVIDIA and AMD, with projected incremental value exceeding $100 billion by 2040.
Third, hardware approaches are not equal. Trapped ions currently lead in precision, silicon spin offers scalability potential, and neutral atoms excel in qubit count.
Fourth, quantum computers are not yet powerful enough to break modern encryption, requiring thousands of logical qubits—far beyond current capabilities.
Finally, the investment landscape is broader than often assumed, with opportunities across quantum processors, supply chains, semiconductor manufacturing, and enabling infrastructure, spanning both public and private companies.
