Is Quantum Computing Stealing NVIDIA’s Spotlight?

An additional pressure on NVIDIA and other semiconductor stocks is also coming from Wall Street’s new interest in the next age of Artificial Intelligence.  Over the last two weeks, investors have been focusing their attention – and buying interests – in the direction of a select new list of stocks from the Quantum Computing industry.
