On December 17th, Quantum Computing, a concept stock of quantum computers in the US stock market, closed up 51.53%. At one point, it triggered a circuit breaker during trading and closed at $16.79 per share. It still rose about 13% in after hours trading in the US stock market, and its increase so far this year has exceeded 1780%.
Previously, the company stated that it had signed a contract with NASA to promote quantum optimization in the space sector. Some analysts say that although it is uncertain whether there will be a clear catalyst for stock appreciation in the field of quantum technology during this period, there are persistent signs that investment in quantum technology will continue to grow rapidly. In addition, a US Congressman recently proposed a bill authorizing the federal government to provide $2.7 billion in funding support for quantum technology.
