Quantum Echoes' on Google's Willow Chip Hint at Future Breakthroughs

Quantum computers are still in their infancy. Presently limited to 100 or so error-prone qubits, the quantum equivalents to classical bits, they are far from supreme calculating machines that are capable of exactly simulating chemical reactions and more. Quantum theorists and experimenters are working within these constraints to find feasible tasks for their devices to show an advantage over the performance of classical computers.

Quantum computing stocks soared again yesterday. The reason why may surprise even their biggest boosters

Yesterday, America's four most prominent quantum computing companies saw their stock prices surge by double-digit percentages. But the genesis behind these soaring share prices wasn't directly related to news about the companies. Instead, the upward movement in the Quantum Four's share prices was largely due to financial giant JPMorganChase. On Monday, the investment bank announced a "Security and Resiliency Initiative" to invest in industries critical to America's national economic security interests. This initiative will see JPMorganChase invest $1.5 trillion in select industries over the next 10 years. And the first wave of this funding-to the tune of up to $10 billion-has already been decided upon.
