IBM answered quantum computing trust problems with three verified results. Read why the technical breakthrough failed to move its stock on Wall Street.

The truth is less dramatic. There are three ways that AI and quantum computers overlap: first, in the problems they try to solve; second, in the way each can be used to build the other; and third, in the resources for which they are competing. And in each of those, co-operation seems to be the winning strategy.

Mitigating a major risk could have positive consequences.

A quantum problem once described as impossible for classical computers has now been solved using relatively modest hardware. Researchers used tensor networks to compress the overwhelming wave function created by hundreds of entangled qubits,

Quantum computing stocks have shed billions in market cap over the past month, and upcoming earnings reports plus a high-stakes acquisition closing could either stop the bleeding or accelerate it.
