[Energy and Capital logo] These Harvard Grads Just Publicly Embarrassed IBM [Luke Sweeney Photo] By [Luke Sweeney]( Written Nov 22, 2021 Every day, a new quantum computing milestone is made and broken. As soon as one team sets a future goal, another company swoops in and shatters the record. Take IBM, for example. You might remember how it [recently]( announced the creation of its new 127-qubit Eagle processor. [1] Engineers were busy patting each other on the back and planning their next move when a small team of Harvard grads came out of stealth mode and dropped a bombshell: Their new project has 256 qubits. Based on the way quantum computers work, each new qubit essentially doubles the processing power. So this young team’s machine isn't just twice as fast as IBM’s — it's exponentially faster. This startup is running on $17 million in funding to develop its concept, while IBM could probably supply 50 times that amount without breaking a sweat. But as the tech world will harshly and repeatedly remind you, it’s not just about the money. This sector ebbs and flows according to much different rules than other markets. And now that the quantum computing industry is moving at a breakneck pace, the rules have changed completely. Forget the iPhone 13... the iPad... and the Apple Watch... What Apple is designing in secret right now will be 1,000 times bigger than all three of them COMBINED. But here’s the thing — don’t invest in Apple. I have a more direct play instead that takes full advantage of Apple’s next innovation. This company’s technology is absolutely essential for Apple’s secret agenda. Without this company’s technology, Apple’s greatest design will fall flat on its face. And while this tech company has Apple under its thumb, early investors like yourself stand to 20x your profits (all without buying a single share of Apple). Tim Cook could announce this project at any minute. [Click here while everything’s still a secret.]( This Team Won Today’s Grand Prize — but What About Tomorrow? The team responsible for the groundbreaking 256-qubit computer is called QuEra Computing, and it consists of under 50 employees and has only been around since 2018. [2] Yet somehow it managed to pull off a feat that stumped some of the biggest companies on the planet. In the ongoing race toward quantum supremacy, QuEra has earned the temporary title of “Quantum King.” But after taking a step back and looking at the timeline of quantum computing, I'm starting to realize one thing: It doesn't really matter who wins today. The industry is moving so quickly that by the time we finish celebrating QuEra’s 256-qubit milestone, someone else will come forward and raise the bar even further. Back in 2020, IBM laid out a road map for building 433- and 1,121-qubit processors by 2023, so this news throws a huge wrench into the schedule. Somewhere out there, I imagine a room full of its engineers is desperately trying to move that date up. And I would expect nothing less from a market that is expected to hit $3.8 billion by the end of the decade. There’s plenty of money still left to be made if you know where to search. [3] When scouting for a strong investment play, it’s important to look further ahead than the rest of the herd. By the time a company like QuEra releases promising news, it’s probably too late to buy in at the ideal moment. That makes the quantum computing market especially difficult to time. It requires an enormous amount of legwork to track each individual development, especially now that so many players have entered the game. Tracking an emerging technology trend on this scale can be a tall order, even for our team of analysts at Energy and Capital. Our database of research is constantly expanding with every new advancement. To see what companies pass our rigorous analysis, check out our tech analyst Keith Kohl’s presentation [here](. It shows exactly how to track the smart money in this fast-paced market. We aren't just looking for the next stepping stone in quantum computing. We have our sights set on the real thing: [q]([uantum supremacy](. To your wealth, Luke Sweeney Contributor, Energy and Capital --------------------------------------------------------------- “God Chips” Are Our Future Specifically, I’m talking about microchips. It’s not a sexy story but a necessary one that you need to know about. You see, with the advancement of artificial intelligence, 5G, and pretty much everything around us, there’s never been more of an overload on our computing system. It’s crucial that microchips keep up with all these cutting-edge technologies. Thankfully, microchip developments are already underway so technology like AI can work faster and more efficiently. There’s one company I’m looking at right now that’s leading the pack. The best part is this game-changing company is holding 14,000 patents for this technology, and it’s currently preparing for mass production. This can turn a mere $500 investment into a fortune.
