D-Wave Soars After Nvidia Unveils Ising, an Open-Source Quantum AI Model

Overview

• D-Wave Quantum shares have climbed about 54% since last week's close, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.
• The surge followed Nvidia's launch of Ising, an open-source model that uses artificial intelligence to run quantum hardware.
• Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said AI will serve as the control plane for quantum machines and help turn fragile qubits into scalable systems.
• Nvidia also said Ising can speed error correction and automate calibration for quantum processors, which are key hurdles to wider use.
• Earlier this week, D-Wave CEO Alan Baratz told a summit audience that Nvidia should be “shaking in my boots,” while The Motley Fool’s Stock Advisor left D-Wave off its latest top 10 list.
