I asked Copilot “How many years does Jensen Huang or Bill Gates think it’ll be before quantum computing is a useful tool by corporations as opposed to just a promise coming from the researchers into this area?”

First, in the letter that you posted, after the writer described all the wonderful research that his company has been involved in he stated that he believes it’ll be at least 7 to 15 years before quantum computing becomes a reality.

Gate-model quantum computers
are still in the research and development phase, and I believe they
remain 7 to 15 years away from being commercially viable

There’s a bit of a debate on this topic. Bill Gates is quite optimistic and believes that quantum computing could become a useful tool within the next **three to five years.

On the other hand, Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, has a more conservative view. He thinks that practical quantum computing might still be **15 to 30 years

So, it seems we have a range of opinions from three to five years on the optimistic side to 15 to 30 years on the more cautious side.
