Investors are in a wait-and-see mode as they turn to the Nvidia’s artificial-intelligence developer conference in France.

The main news piece as of late was Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's comments at GTC Paris, stating that "quantum computing is reaching an inflection point" and that the world is "within reach" of using quantum computers for complex problems. These words starkly contradict the tone we heard from Mr. Huang before - hence the reaction across the niche.

Quantum computing technology is at an inflection point, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reiterated on Wednesday at the VivaTech conference in Paris. Quantum calculations could crack problems that currently would demand years of processing from Nvidia's most advanced AI systems.
