Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang Champions Quantum Computing Breakthroughs

Quantum Computing at a Turning Point

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has signaled a renewed and bullish outlook on quantum computing during his keynote address at Nvidia’s GTC Paris developer conference. Huang emphasized that the era of quantum computing is approaching an inflection point, one where the emerging technology will soon solve complex, real-world problems that have long eluded classical computers.

Transformative Potential of Qubits

Quantum computers leverage the principles of quantum mechanics, operating with qubits that transcend the binary limitations of classical bits. This capability allows the processing of massive data volumes and paves the way for breakthroughs across medicine, science, and finance. Huang elaborated on Nvidia’s hybrid quantum-classical computing solution, Cuda Q, which underscores the company’s commitment to lead in this rapidly evolving domain.

Global Collaboration and Market Movements

Huang remarked on the impressive community of quantum computing companies across Europe, noting productive discussions with representatives from French startup Pasqal. This collaboration underscores a broader global momentum in quantum advancements. The market, which has seen notable movements with stocks like Rigetti Computing and IonQ, reflects growing investor interest—even as these companies experience fluctuations linked to broader quantum computing speculations.

Refining Timelines Amid Market Volatility

In earlier statements, Huang had anticipated a 15-year timeline for viable quantum computing, a prediction that quickly shifted market perceptions. Acknowledging his previous miscalculations, he now sees a 20-year horizon as more realistic. Such candid admissions reinforce the unpredictable nature of pioneering technologies and underline the inherent challenges in forecasting revolutionary advancements.

An Industry Poised for Disruption

Industry leaders, including Google with its recent unveiling of the quantum chip Willow, are navigating the complexities of error correction—a vital step in stabilizing quantum information. As these foundational elements mature, the transformative implications on sectors such as finance and healthcare become increasingly evident.

Huang’s latest remarks not only reflect a strategic pivot in Nvidia’s approach but also signal that the quantum era is on the cusp of delivering tangible impact. For investors and industry stakeholders, this marks an exciting juncture filled with both promise and calculated risk.

Cyprus Expects More French Visitors In 2027 As Air Capacity Expands

September 18, 2026

Cyprus expects more French visitors in 2027 as airlines increase capacity between the two countries, Tourism Deputy Minister Kostas Koumis said after meetings with tour operators in Paris.

France, one of Cyprus’ key tourism markets, has had a difficult 2026. French arrivals fell 46% year over year to 8,453 in August, from 15,663 a year earlier, according to the Statistical Service of Cyprus (Cystat). August arrivals were also nearly 50% below the 16,798 recorded in the same month of 2024.

Overall, Cyprus received 2.82 million tourist arrivals between January and August, down 7% from the same period in 2025.

Air Connectivity Supports 2027 Outlook

Koumis discussed the 2027 outlook with senior executives from tour operators offering Cyprus holidays during the IFTM Top Resa travel trade fair in Paris.

Higher air capacity between France and Cyprus was a key focus of the talks. Participants also discussed the impact of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East on the French market and Cyprus’ efforts to adapt its tourism offering to French travelers.

“The French market is undoubtedly an extremely important market for our country’s tourism,” Koumis said, adding that France had regained importance only a few years ago and still had room to grow.

Improved air connectivity will be an important factor in that expansion, according to Koumis. “It is now clear that air connectivity between France and Cyprus is improving significantly, which is a basic prerequisite for the further growth of the market,” he said.

Cyprus Promotes Tourism And Regional Cooperation

Koumis attended the opening of IFTM Top Resa at the invitation of French Tourism Minister Serge Papin, who later visited the Cyprus stand. Held from Sept. 15 to 17 at Paris Porte de Versailles, the event brought together more than 32,000 tourism professionals representing 177 destinations and 1,650 brands, according to organizers.

During his visit, Koumis also met Egyptian Tourism Minister Sherif Fathy. Cyprus and Egypt reaffirmed their tourism cooperation and discussed opportunities to strengthen ties further.

French media interviews covered Cyprus’ tourism offering, infrastructure and services, along with efforts to develop specialized tourism products. Regional instability weighed on arrivals in 2026, particularly during the spring, although the decline narrowed over the summer.
