Trump announces trade deal with EU following months of negotiations
Investing.com -- Quantum computing stocks saw a significant upswing on Monday, with Quantum Computing Inc (NASDAQ: QUBT) leading the pack with a 24% increase, followed by more modest gains of 4% for Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI), D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), and IONQ Inc (NYSE: NYSE:IONQ). The rise in these stocks added to their recent upward momentum.
The driver behind Monday’s surge is the anticipation of NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s inaugural Quantum Day, scheduled for March 20. The event is set to bring together prominent figures from the global quantum computing community, including CEOs and industry leaders, for a panel discussion from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. PT. The panel will be livestreamed and available on demand, aiming to shed light on the current state and future prospects of quantum computing.
The panel will feature a lineup of quantum computing pioneers, such as Alan Baratz of D-Wave and Peter Chapman of IonQ, among others. In addition to the panel, Quantum Day will include technical sessions with partners and NVIDIA researchers.
Moreover, the broader GTC 2025 conference, hosted by NVIDIA from March 17-21 in San Jose, California, is expected to draw significant attention. Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s founder and CEO, is slated to deliver a keynote on Tuesday, March 18, at 10 a.m. PT, focusing on AI and accelerated computing technologies. The keynote will be livestreamed and NVIDIA will also hold an investor Q&A webcast on March 19 at 8:30 a.m. PT.
Investor interest in quantum computing stocks is likely buoyed by the potential insights and announcements expected from these events, which could have implications for the industry’s direction and growth. As companies and investors alike look to the future of computing, events like NVIDIA’s Quantum Day serve as important indicators of industry trends and technological advancements.
