Investors’ Interest in Quantum Computing Stocks Grows
Interest in quantum computing stocks is gaining momentum following a major breakthrough announced by Google (GOOGL) last week for its Willow quantum computer. Google Quantum AI team founder Hartmut Neven claims that Willow’s performance lends credence to the multiverse theory, suggesting that “quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes.” In fact, shares of QUBT have surged by more than 100% over the past five days and have skyrocketed by over 1000% year-to-date.
