Abstract generation in progress

The stock prices of quantum computing-related companies in the US stock market have risen significantly, attracting investor interest. As multiple quantum computer companies show steady price movements, policy support and technological innovation are driving the market.

Major stocks like IonQ and D-Wave rise by double digits

Pre-market trading saw a broad rally in quantum computing-related stocks. IonQ (IONQ.N) rose by 13%, Rigetti (RGTI.O) by 12%, D-Wave (QBTS.N) by 16%, and Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT.O) by 13%. The strong performance of these US stocks suggests increased expectations for the entire industry.

In particular, D-Wave’s 16% increase is the largest gain, indicating that the market highly values the company’s technological progress. The rise in stock prices of each company reflects strong institutional investor interest in the quantum computing sector.

Policy support and technological innovation create a synergistic effect

Government-level support is accelerating the growth of the quantum computing industry. Negotiations led by US Deputy Secretary of Commerce Paul Daver are discussing exchanges of stocks and federal funds with companies like IonQ, Rigetti, and D-Wave. Quantum Computing Inc. and Atom Computing are also considering similar funding proposals.

Such policy backing demonstrates the government’s strong commitment to accelerating quantum technology development and supports the overall rise in industry stock prices.

Google’s “Willow” announcement symbolizes technological innovation

Furthermore, Google’s announcement of the development results of its quantum chip “Willow” also had a positive impact on market sentiment. The announcement that Willow completed quantum chaos simulation calculations in just 2 hours suggests that the commercialization of quantum computing is approaching, which has become a bullish factor for quantum computer-related stocks.

Market volatility factor: Tesla declines against the trend

On the other hand, Tesla (TSLA.O) recorded a 3.3% decline in pre-market trading due to a sharp drop in Q3 profits. In contrast to the strong performance of quantum computing stocks overall, large-cap stocks like Tesla faced correction pressures, highlighting a divergence within the market.
