Researchers at the University of Oxford have pioneered a new approach to simulate turbulent systems, based on probabilities. The findings appear in the journal Science Advances.

Advances like these lead me to believe that useful quantum computing is inevitable and increasingly imminent. And that’s good news, because the hope is that they will be able to perform calculations that no amount of AI or classical computation could ever achieve.

Welcome to the latest edition of “Quantum Leap” where The Fly decodes news and activity in the quantum computing space. Invest with Confidence:

Quantum computing has been on the horizon for what feels like decades. But with the explosion of artificial intelligence (AI) over the past year or so, the quantum computing future could be upon us. In 2025, there are several stocks that could benefit. Some are big tech businesses; others are specialty start-ups focused on a particular niche.

Quantum computing has the potential of being the next big innovation. At the right size and the right price, it might even be investable.

The model was developed by the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, which claims that R1 matches or even surpasses OpenAI’s ChatGPT o1 on multiple key benchmarks but operates at a fraction of the cost.

Research co-led by University of Toronto researchers and Insilico Medicine has demonstrated the potential of quantum computing and artificial intelligence to transform the drug discovery pipeline.

Quantum computing company Alice & Bob announced a raise of €100 million in its Series B funding round, led by Future French Champions (FFC), AVP (AXA Venture Partners) and Bpifrance. FFC is a partnership between QIA and Bpifrance.

Quantum technology, while still in its early stages, provides a promising path to improving the management of complex supply chains.

Competition is already heating up, with many companies taking a unique approach to developing their quantum computers. One such company is IonQ ( IONQ -1.43%), a leading manufacturer of quantum computing systems. But is the stock a buy right now? Let's take a closer look.

Quantum computing offers mind-boggling problem-solving potential. Here are four ways to buy quantum computing stocks.

Amid stock-market jitters, quantum computing start-ups continue to make progress — and to score hundreds of millions of dollars in investments.
