Quantum Computing Stock Rises on D-Wave's AT&T Partnership News
On Monday, Quantum Computing (QUBT) stock rose by nearly 5% as investors reacted to news that its competitor, D-Wave Quantum (QBTS), had secured a contract with AT&T. The telecom giant plans to use D-Wave’s annealing quantum computing technology to enhance AI efficiency in network operations and detect outages. Although Quantum Computing was not involved in the deal, both companies saw similar stock gains as investors speculated that other telecommunications firms might also consider their offerings. However, current data suggests Quantum has yet to secure major contracts like D-Wave. Analysts are forecasting over $41 million in revenue for Quantum this year—a significant jump from its trailing-12-month performance. The broader market is watching closely as quantum computing continues gaining traction across industries.
