Quantum computing stocks slide as Meta’s Zuckerberg expresses doubts over outlook

Investing.com– Quantum (NASDAQ:QMCO) computing stocks slid on Monday and steadied in aftermarket trade as Meta (NASDAQ:META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg joined Nvidia’s Jensen Huang in questioning just how soon the technology could be viable.

Shares of Quantum Computing Inc (NASDAQ:QUBT), Rigetti Computing Inc (NASDAQ:RGTI) Computing Inc (NASDAQ:RGTI), QuantumSi Inc (NASDAQ:QSI), IONQ Inc (NYSE:IONQ), and D Wave Quantum Inc (NYSE:QBTS) rose marginally in aftermarket trade after tumbling between 13% and 34% during Monday’s session. 

The sector saw extended losses after Zuckerberg, speaking on the Joe Rogan Show podcast, said quantum computing was at least over a decade away from becoming useful. 

Zuckerberg’s comments followed similar comments from NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO Huang, who said the technology was at least 15 years away from being viable. His comments also triggered steep losses in quantum stocks last week.

Quantum computing technology- which manipulates quantum phenomena to carry out complex computational tasks- came into increased focus over the past month, after Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) claimed to have made a major breakthrough in the technology. This spurred heightened bets that breakthroughs in quantum computing could severely disrupt the computer industry and spark a new wave of growth in technology investment. 

But Google had also warned that despite the breakthrough, the technology was nowhere close to being commercially viable.
