Chip maker AMD experienced significant gains on the 24th, soaring nearly 8% due to encouraging reports. The report pointed out that research by the blue giant IBM found that AMD chips can be used to run key quantum computing error correction algorithms. AMD is not alone in rising stock prices. IBM's stock price has also risen by about 8%, heading towards its best single-day performance since January.
Reuters reported that IBM's statement system also confirmed the authenticity of the report and is expected to publish relevant papers in the near future, specifically demonstrating that IBM can successfully implement quantum error correction algorithms on AMD's FPGA chips. This new development is seen by IBM as a milestone in realizing its future application technology.
AMD’s partnership with IBM announced in August 2025 that the two companies had reached an agreement to jointly develop quantum computing capabilities and integrate related technologies. IBM said at the time that they planned to launch a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer in 2029. In another statement, IBM emphasized that this successful project is to design and implement a method that can perform such tasks on a large scale, and continue to develop quantum computer technology without the need for expensive GPU clusters.
The core advantage of quantum computing technology is that it can use the principles of quantum mechanics to solve problems that are difficult for traditional computers to deal with. Currently, the market’s interest in quantum computing continues to heat up. In addition to the progress of cooperation between AMD and IBM, major technology companies including Google, Microsoft and Amazon are also accelerating their investment in the development competition of quantum computing technology. In 2024, Microsoft launched their first quantum computing chip, and Google also released a breakthrough chip called WIllow. Google's head of quantum said in March that the technology was "five years away from a real breakthrough."
Even major technology companies continue to promote the development of quantum computing technology. However, NVIDIA (NVIDIA), which currently uses GPU as the main operating architecture promoter of artificial intelligence, does not seem to be optimistic about this development direction. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang predicted during the CES 2025 keynote speech that it may take 15 to 30 years for a very useful quantum computer to be launched. This comment was fermented the next day, causing the stock prices of many quantum computing companies to plummet.
The quantum computer craze among major technology companies does not seem to be affected by NVIDIA. New technologies in the quantum field are emerging one after another, and the market is once again focused, driving the stocks of quantum technology companies to rise, including D-Wave Quantum, Rigetti Computing and IonQ. The stock prices all climbed on the 24th.
