  • Investors and traders in the stock market love to ride momentum, and the build-out of data processing infrastructure to support generative artificial intelligence seems likely to continue for some time.

The article from MarketWatch discusses the potential next big trend in the stock market following the buzz around generative AI, focusing on the rise of quantum computing. Quantum computing, which leverages the principles of quantum mechanics, promises to solve complex problems much faster than current classical computers. Companies like IBM, Google, and Honeywell are already investing heavily in this technology, with IBM recently unveiling its 433-qubit Osprey processor. The article highlights how quantum computing could revolutionize fields like drug discovery, financial modeling, and cybersecurity. However, it also notes the challenges, including the need for error correction and the development of practical, scalable quantum systems. The stock market's interest in quantum computing is driven by its potential to create new industries and disrupt existing ones, although widespread commercial application might still be years away.
