AWS Launches Quantum Embark, Quantum Computing Stocks Blastoff
Amazon.com Web Services announced the Quantum Embark Program today, which prompted quantum computing-related stocks to skyrocket.
Quantum Computing Inc. surged 28% by the time the markets closed on Friday. D-Wave Systems Inc. rocketed 48% by the end of the trade day, and was up another 9% during early post-market action.
Quantum Embark was created to help customers prepare for the era of quantum computing, a nascent field that harnesses the powers of quantum mechanics.
"It has the potential to revolutionize industries by solving problems that are beyond the ability of even the most powerful classical computers," AWS said in a blog post.
Quantum Embark is an advisory program intended to help customers "compute intensive use cases, develop an understanding of the state of the art, pinpoint relevant quantum technologies to focus on, and ultimately make informed decisions about future resourcing and their long-term quantum roadmap," AWS added.
