Quantum computing is operating at a higher and more commercially viable level in 2023. More than 91% of global CEOs

Quantum computing is operating at a higher and more commercially viable level in 2023. More than 91% of global CEOs say theyre steering cash toward quantum computing, and 70% say theyre generating real-life use cases for the technology, according to the OpenOceanIQM-Lakestar State of Quantum 2022 report.

Corporate decision makers are starting to see what computer engineers have seen for years: Quantum computing can resolve issues in a few seconds that take the fastest supercomputers weeks to solve.

Our research confirms that we are on a one-way journey to enter the quantum era, says Ekaterina Almasque, general partner at OpenOcean, which coauthored the State of Quantum 2022 Report released in November.

The findings are a clear sign that the broader market is starting to buy into the potential of quantum computing, recognizing its emerging commercial potential and backing it with significant investment, she says. The report showed that private investment in quantum computing grew 500% from 2017 to 2021 alone.

A recent report from Precedence Research pegged the global quantum computing market at more than $10 billion for 2022 and predicted that it would surpass $125 billion by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 37%.

So, which quantum computing stocks are doing the best job of harnessing themselves to the quantum computing revolution? These eight stocks are in acceleration mode:

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)

Microsoft is at the leading edge of quantum computing innovation, with one of the industrys first full-stack, open-cloud quantum computing ecosystems, which enables data engineers to create quantum applications and run them on multiple systems.

In February, Microsoft rolled out its new Integrated Hybrid feature in Azure Quantum that enables quantum and classical (computing) to integrate seamlessly together in the cloud, a first for our industry and an important step forward on our path to quantum at scale, according to the companys website.

With quantum computing developments growing steadily, and its Azure cloud computing platform growing at a 27% clip in the last quarter, look for these efforts to start paying off in 2023.

The 34 Wall Street analysts who rated MSFT stock on TipRanks.com gave it a strong buy recommendation, on average, with a price target of $327.14 in mid-May. Thats 5.7% above its May 15 closing price of $309.46.

International Business Machines Corp. (IBM)

IBM is one of the few large quantum computing developers that owns its own computing chip and operating systems, both of which are tied to its Quantum System One quantum computer, introduced in 2019. IBM has made big strides commercially with its efforts, as 210 entities across a wide spectrum of industries, including Raytheon Technologies Corp. (RTX), Sony Group Corp. (SONY), Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and the U.S. government, are either currently using IBM quantum computing programs or are partnering with IBM to build more robust quantum computing systems.

IBM also routinely rates highly in business innovation rankings its rated third for technology innovation in Drucker Institutes latest Management Top 250 Report (Microsoft is first) providing investors with some reassurance that Big Blue knows what its doing on the quantum computing front.

IBM shares closed at $123.36 on May 15, and eight analysts on TipRanks give the stock an average price target of $147.38. Thats a 19.5% increase.

Nvidia Corp. (NVDA)

Nvidia plays a huge role in the quantum computing market, as its one of the main providers of graphics processing units, or GPUs, used to power faster computing performance. Now Nvidia is getting into the hardware end of the quantum computing market with its DGX Quantum, the first computing system to merge GPUs and quantum computing. The quantum computing architecture is powered by Nvidias Grace Hopper Superchip, thus allowing researchers to build extraordinarily powerful applications that combine quantum computing with state-of-the-art classical computing, enabling calibration, control, quantum error correction and hybrid algorithms, the company stated.

NVDA stock could be a solid long-term play for quantum computing investors, given its outsized role in the global semiconductor market and its emerging role in quantum architecture even if that role may not pay off for several years. NVDA traded at $289.53 per share on May 15, and 38 analysts on TipRanks rate the stock a consensus strong buy with a 12-month price target of $288.24.

Alphabet Inc. (GOOG, GOOGL)

Alphabet, the parent to web search engine giant Google, has already established a big footprint in the quantum computing market. In 2018, the company introduced Bristlecone, its 72-qubit quantum processor, and has since spun off its own quantum computing and artificial intelligence private company.

In February, Alphabet engineers announced a breakthrough development in the quantum computing market, reporting that its quantum processor could reduce quantum computing errors (which are fairly common in the sector) by boosting the number of qubits used in computing processes.

No doubt, Alphabet is building a solid quantum computing platform that should place it in the top five technology companies in the quantum sector going forward. The stock should be another long-term pillar for sector investors, especially given its well-earned reputation as a highly profitable company.

GOOG had a closing price of $116.96 on May 15, and all six analysts who offer an average price target of $126.17 on TipRanks rate the stock a buy.

Honeywell International Inc. (HON)

Quantinuum, the quantum computing enterprise owned by Honeywell Quantum Solutions and Cambridge Quantum, recently tapped 30-year supercomputing veteran Raj Hazra as its new chief executive officer. That move underlines the industrys need for top leaders and visionaries who know how to push quantum computing from the realm of scientific theory to a mainstream commercial computing juggernaut.

The experienced Hazra leads a company thats planted deep roots in the quantum space, particularly in developing quantum computing products in the internet security, climate modeling and pharmaceutical drug sectors. Commenting on Quantinuum, which includes 350 scientists on its payroll, Hazra cited the state of the art engineering talent already on board at the enterprise.

Investors looking for exposure to all that generational talent can access it via Honeywells stock, which closed at $194.31 on May 15. Twelve TipRanks analysts set an average price target of $223.91, which represents 15.2% potential upside.

Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN)

Amazon is rapidly expanding its presence in the quantum computing sector, primarily through its AWS Center for Quantum Networking for developing quantum network solutions and its Amazon Quantum Solutions Lab. Last year, Amazon also rolled out Amazon Braket, a cloud-based managed quantum computing service that researches and develops new quantum computing technologies.

Amazon is yet another deep-pocketed player that can take its time developing new products knowing that its massive revenue base $514 billion in 2022 can buy the companys quantum engineers all the time they need to master the market.

AMZN stock traded at $111.20 per share as of May 15, and 36 Wall Street analysts set a consensus price target of $134.24 with a strong buy rating. Thats upside potential of 20.7%.

Intel Corp. (INTC)

Intel is already widely recognized as the largest semiconductor company in the world. Now its taking significant steps to position itself as one of the rising stars in the quantum computing market.

In March, Intel introduced its Quantum software development kit, or SDK, to aid technology engineers in their ongoing research into quantum algorithms and applications. The SDK is already in use as a tool for researching fluid dynamics performance issues in the hydrodynamics and aerodynamics markets. Thats a path Intel is determined to follow to entrench itself in the quantum computing market.

The Intel Quantum SDK helps programmers get ready for future large-scale commercial quantum computers, says Anne Matsuura, director of quantum applications and architecture at Intel Labs. It will not only help developers learn how to create quantum algorithms and applications in simulation, but it will also advance the industry by creating a community of developers that will accelerate the development of applications, so they are ready when Intels quantum hardware becomes available.

INTC stock closed at $29.80 on May 15, and the price target consensus of 27 analysts on TipRanks is $30.98.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSM)

TSM has laid the groundwork for its quantum computing efforts with a five-year strategic partnership with Taiwans Ministry of Science and Technology. Thats the tentpole in TSMs plan to use its new cloud computing platform to develop quantum computing applications that will one day make it to the commercial marketplace.

Couple those efforts with TSMs standing as one of the top semiconductor companies in the world that generates 10% to 15% annual revenue growth rates, and its easy to see why Taiwan Semi could be a solid landing spot for new quantum computing investment dollars.

TSM stock closed at $85.66 per share on May 15. A small sample of Wall Street analysts on TipRanks rate the stock a strong buy and set a consensus price target of $118.67 for TSM shares, representing potential upside of 38.5%.

via Netflix

The latest Korean drama to hit Netflix, Black Knight, is already garnering a lot of attention. The series paints a dystopian world where your everyday delivery driver is now a combat-trained runway model (quite literally in this case), and instead of bringing you your oranges, milk, and Reeses peanut butter cups, he is bringing you the oxygen you need to survive in this new hellscape. So who are the players in this series which asks the question: what if a DoorDash delivery was a little more like Mad Max?

Lets get a little more context first of all, shall we? The year is 2071, 40 years since a comet landed on Earth, turning South Korea into a desert and polluting the air to such an extent that it is almost impossible to survive outside. Only one percent of the population still lives, and they have been separated into factions, general, specific, and core. Of course, here we see the rich and wealthy getting their usual privileged treatment whilst the rest suffer in horrific conditions (no one is surprised by this anymore, right?).

In this dystopian world, we have those known as Black Knights, delivery men who brave the wastelands to bring the necessities for survival, including clean oxygen, to those who can afford them. They drive across the treacherous landscape, fighting off bandits and well-armed groups to make their deliveries, not something we would see most Uber drivers doing these days. One of the most legendary of the Black Knights is our protagonist, 5-8, a man who realizes he can no longer service the needs of only a few whilst the rest suffer.

So who plays 5-8, as well as all the other players in this bleak world? Lets take a look at the cast and where you may have seen them before.

Kim Woo-bin plays the exceedingly handsome and deadly 5-8. Kim started his career as a runway model in South Korea at the age of 20 and started appearing on runways at Seoul Fashion Week collections. This then started the transition to acting, taking classes and training before making his first appearance in 2011 in the mystery drama White Christmas.

He started to gain recognition in 2013, appearing in two hit series and a film, and received his first award, Best New Actor at the APAN Star Awards, a South Korean awards show celebrating excellence in television and movies. Kim worked steadily until he took a hiatus after being diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer. He made a triumphant return to the screen in 2022 with the show Our Blues and now the much-talked-about Black Knight.

His role as 5-8 has the internet a-flutter as many tune in to see what it would be like to get deliveries from a walking Calvin Klein model with kick-ass martial arts skills.

Kang Yoo-seok plays the role of the scrappy refugee boy, Yoon Sa-Wol. Sa-wol idolizes the couriers who brave the desert to deliver vital necessities and wants to follow in the footsteps of 5-8. Luckily for him, and to the tragedy of 5-8, a spot opens up and 5-8 decides to take Sa-wol under his wing to mentor him and prepare him for the Squid Game-like competition that is undertaken to find a new delivery driver.

Kang is a little newer on the block, with his first listed performance being the 2019 series Nal Nokyeojuo. He has appeared in a handful of series since then, but it looks like this will likely be his breakout role given all the attention the show has garnered so far.

In contrast to Yoo-seok, Song Seung-heon has been around for some time and is a firm fixture in Korean and Japanese television. The actor started out as a model in the 90s before transitioning across to acting (we may believe that having model good looks is a requirement for Korean actors at this rate) and has appeared in numerous well-loved series and films since.

The first role for which he gained recognition was the popular drama Autumn in My Heart, a romantic melodrama that was so influential it started a trend for stories of the same thing in Korean television. Many of the roles he takes on are often gruff, masculine, and aggressive, and that seems to be the case here as he acts as the classic evil, rich villain whose disdain for everyone makes him easy to hate.

Esom, otherwise known as Lee So-young, plays the character of Jeong Seol-ah, a capable military character and one of the only strong females in this series. She is an officer in the Defense Intelligence Command and is also close to the character of Sa-wol having saved his life and watching over him like an adoptive big sister. This is the setup we need to know that she is separate from the other scheming, uncaring, military and political types we meet throughout the show.

Esom first made a splash as the lead in the romantic 2014 film Scarlet Innocence, which earned her a slew of award nominations. She has since worked on a number of well-received Korean dramas including Taxi Driver, The Third Charm, and the film Samjin Company English Class.

Kim plays the sweet character of Grandpa, the lovable elderly character around all these young pretty things. He is a mechanic of great skill, able to fix almost anything, and also acts as Sa-wols guardian (this boy really does have a lot of people looking out for him).

Kim has been on the scene for some time and has appeared in a number of shows and films, and won a handful of awards, one of which was Best Supporting Actor in the incredibly popular film Train to Busan which gained global recognition.

Jin is a face you will see over and over again if you are a fan of Korean films and dramas. The versatile actress is everywhere and in Black Knight plays South Koreas President, Chae Jin-kyung. This is not the only K-drama that she has appeared in that has made a splash on Netflix in the last few years. She also appears in Extraordinary Attorney Woo as Tae Soo-mi, the sharp-minded, strong, and successful head of the most respected law firm in the country. Not such a shock then to see her in yet another high-powered role, as she radiates authority.

Jeung Seul-ah is the younger sister of Jeong Seol-ah (be careful not to get their names confused) and is played by actress Roh Yoon-seo. A little less composed than her older sister, she swoons a lot more of the character of 5-8 (a legitimate response). In a tough world where most of the characters are gruff and tough, her character brings softness.

Roh is very new to the game, having (once again) started off as a model in 2018 she starred in her debut role in Our Blues, the same series Kim Woo-bin appeared in once he returned to acting. Her next role was in the 2023 series Crash Course in Romance, and both roles saw her nominated and winning awards, including the Best New Actress Television award at the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards.

These are all the major players in the series which has taken the world by storm, appearing in Netflixs Top Ten charts in 83 countries. This show takes some of the tricks and story telling utilized by some of the most successful dramas out there and manages to bring them all together in one season, an extraordinary feat. It may occasionally feel a little overstuffed at times, but reviews so far have been great, so add this to your watchlist if you want to see very attractive people survive after an apocalyptic event.

You can watch Black Knight now on Netflix.

Science and technology have always fascinated Joe Rogan. Rogan has hosted several guests from the science field on his podcast. The Joe Rogan Experience has a large repository of conversations on the subject with guests like Elon Musk and Brian Cox. The latest among such conversations was with Dr. Michio Kaku, Ph.D. Dr. Kaku is a theoretical physicist and host of a radio program called Science Fantastic.

Dr. Kaku has also recently written a book called Quantum Supremacy: How the Quantum Computer Revolution Will Change Everything. The pairs discussions were therefore pertaining to quantum computers and their potential to change the world.

In episode #1980, Joe Rogan and Dr. Michio Kaku had a lengthy discussion about technology and quantum computers in particular. They discussed the technological race between countries like the United States and China. Toward the end of their chat, Rogan asked Kaku if he thought governments had already possessed this type of technology.

The 76-year-old told him an answer befitting a scientist. For Kaku, the proof was in the pudding. He had to see it to believe it. Then Rogan asked, Could you understand though how a government if they were in possession of something like that, would want to keep it a secret?

The BJJ black belt explained, Because the technology is so superior to anything that we have. Just like how were in this sort of quantum computer race with China and they have a different method than we do. What if they have a different method of back engineering these things?

Kaku told Rogan that it was a conceivable theory but add there was no hard evidence to support any assumptions. He also analyzed other theories where people claim humans stole technology from aliens. The renowned physicist credited all such achievements to scientists who spent entire careers developing them.

What do you make of this conversation between Rogan and Kaku? Do you have any such theories regarding high-end technology?

NEW YORK, May 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Insilico Medicine, a clinical stage generative artificial intelligence (AI)-driven drug discovery company, today announced that it groundbreakingly combines two rapidly developing technologies, quantum computing and generative AI to explore the lead candidate discovery in the drug development process and successfully demonstrated the potential advantages of quantum generative adversarial networks in generative chemistry.

The study published on May 13th in the American Chemical Society'sJournal of Chemical Information and Modeling, a leading journal in computational modeling, is led by Insilico Taiwan center and UAE center which focus on pioneering and constructing breakthrough methods and engines with rapidly developing technologies including generative AI and quantum computing to accelerate drug discovery and development, supported by the University of Toronto's Acceleration Consortium director Alan Aspuru-Guzik and Hon Hai (Foxconn) Research Institute.

"We are pleased to achieve the milestone in the collaboration with Insilico Medicine. Quantum computing can be used to solve complex computational problems. The application of quantum computing in drug discovery will potentially help reduce the time and lower the cost of research and development," said Min-Hsiu Hsieh, PhD, Director of the Quantum Computing Research Center of Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn)

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are one of the most successful generative models in drug discovery and design which has shown remarkable results for generating data that mimics a data distribution in different tasks. The classic GAN model consists of a generator and a discriminator. The generator takes random noises as input and tries to imitate the data distribution, and the discriminator tries to distinguish between the fake and real samples. A GAN is trained until the discriminator cannot distinguish the generated data from the real data.

In this paper, researchers have explored the quantum advantage in small molecule drug discovery by substituting each part of MolGAN, an implicit GAN for small molecular graphs, with a variational quantum circuit (VQC) step by step including as the noise generator, generator with the patch method and quantum discriminator, and comparing its performance and with the classical counterpart.

The study not only demonstrates that the trained quantum GANs can generate training-set-like molecules by using the VQC as the noise generator, but the quantum generator outperforms the classical GAN in the drug properties of generated compounds and the goal-directed benchmark. In addition, the study shows the quantum discriminator of GAN with only tens of learnable parameters can generate valid molecules and it outperforms the classical counterpart with tens of thousands of parameters in terms of generated molecule properties and KL-divergence score.

"Quantum computing is recognized as the next technology breakthrough which will make great impact to all communities, and the pharmaceutical industry is believed to be among the first wave of industries benefiting from the advancement. The paper demonstrates Insilico's first footprint in quantum computing with AI in molecular generation underlining our vision in the field," said Jimmy Yen-Chu Lin, PhD, GM of Insilico Medicine Taiwan, and corresponding author of the paper.

The promising result will further support Insilico's UAE team to integrate the hybrid Quantum GAN model into Chemistry42, Insilico's proprietary small molecule generation engine to obtain more efficient and accurate results in AI-driven drug discovery and development process. As one of the pioneers to leverage GANs in de novo molecular design Insilico published the first paper in this field in 2016 and the company has delivered 11 preclinical candidates with the support of its end-to-end platform Pharma.AI based on generative AI models since 2021, three of which have entered clinical trials.

"To our knowledge, it is the first time in the industry to systematically replace every component of GAN with VCQ and successfully generate molecules. I believe this is also the first small step in our journey," said Alex Zhavoronkov, founder and CEO of Insilico Medicine. "We are committed to accelerate high-quality effective therapeutics to patients to extend healthy productive life for everyone on the planet with the support of cutting-edge technologies. Insilico's UAE center is currently working on a breakthrough experiment with a real quantum computer for chemistry and look forward to sharing Insilico's best practices with industry and academia."
