Quantum computing stocks are up on major news from an industry leader. Semiconductor producer Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) announced a significant breakthrough today. Along with Rolls-Royce (OTCMKTS:RYCEY) and quantum computing innovator Classiq, the company has achieved something that stands to revolutionize jet engine efficiency. Nvidia laid out the following in a statement on May 21:
Using NVIDIAs quantum computing platform, the companies have designed and simulated the worlds largest quantum computing circuit for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) a circuit that measures 10 million layers deep with 39 qubits. By using GPUs, Rolls-Royce is preparing for a quantum future despite the limitations of todays quantum computers, which only support circuits a few layers deep.
This news came out over the weekend, yet it has helped spur a rally for quantum computing stocks so far this week. NVDA isnt currently rising, but its announcement has pushed several of its peers into the green. On top of it, other positive developments have helped generate further momentum for the sector.
As impressive as its recent breakthrough is, Nvidia has been trending downward all day, though it still remains in the green for the week. For other quantum computing stocks, though, it has been a smooth ride to the top. Things have gone much better for IonQ (NYSE:IONQ), which has surged about 40% over the past five days. Last week, it announced that its powerful IonQ Aria computer would be available through the Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Bracket quantum computer service, sending shares up.
Quantum Computing (NASDAQ:QUBT) also reported a positive catalyst recently. The penny stock hasnt been enjoying the same type of growth as IonQ, but it has two reasons to celebrate. Aside from the quantum computing stocks rally, the company has received a follow-on task order to continue supporting NASA in its remote sensing and climate change monitoring. Quantum Computing has high hopes for its work in this field. As Chief Technology Officer Dr. William McGann states:
Our current prototype systems have shown outstanding performance in both pattern prediction and recognition, demonstrating good potential for sunlight noise removal. Through this project, we hope to prove the concept and develop a roadmap for future large-scale deployment to help NASA and many other potential customers.
This has also been a good day for Arqit Quantum (NASDAQ:ARQQ), which has risen 2% for the day. Like its penny stock peer QBUT, this company has spent the past week rising steadily as investor enthusiasm for quantum computing stocks continues to mount. This could be a turning point for the industry, especially as Nvidia continues its quest for market dominance. The company is already making significant headways in the artificial intelligence (AI) race, giving investors the type of exposure that they need. Now it is reminding everyone that it should also be counted as a leader among quantum computing stocks. As it rises, smaller cap companies can easily follow, as IONQ and QUBT have proven this week.
On Penny Stocks and Low-Volume Stocks:With only the rarest exceptions, InvestorPlace does not publish commentary about companies that have a market cap of less than $100 million or trade less than 100,000 shares each day. Thats because these penny stocks are frequently the playground for scam artists and market manipulators. If we ever do publish commentary on a low-volume stock that may be affected by our commentary, we demand thatInvestorPlace.coms writers disclose this fact and warn readers of the risk.
