Nvidia has another reason to embrace quantum. As quantum computers are being built, much of the research on them is done through simulators on powerful computers, like those that Nvidia sells.
It's also possible that a quantum computer would require a traditional computer to operate it. Nvidia is working to provide the technology and software to integrate graphics processing units (GPUs) and quantum chips.
"Of course, quantum computing has the potential and all of our hopes that it will deliver extraordinary impact," Huang said on Thursday. "But the technology is insanely complicated."
