Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang recently emphasized that quantum computing is nearing a pivotal moment, indicating that the technology could soon tackle significant challenges. His comments, coupled with a partnership announcement with Harvard and MIT, have rekindled investor excitement around the long-term potential of quantum technologies.

Quantum Developments Rise in Major Tech Firms

UBS analysts have observed a “growing interest” in quantum computing, with big players such as:

• IBM (NYSE:IBM) – Set to launch a functional quantum system by 2029 and increase its capacity by 2033.

• Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) – All enhancing their quantum initiatives.

• Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) – Promoting its 12-qubit chip developed through advanced lithographic techniques.

The main hurdle is still qubit stability. Effective error correction demands significant qubit redundancy, negating current speed advantages.

UBS: Semiconductor Equipment Makers to Gain Long-Term

Although practical applications are a few years away, UBS highlighted semiconductor equipment producers as initial beneficiaries:

• Applied Materials (NASDAQ:AMAT)

• Lam Research (NASDAQ:LRCX)

• GlobalFoundries (NASDAQ:GFS) – Cited for forming early partnerships within the quantum fabrication sector.

"Quantum builds on established semiconductor fabrication processes," UBS stated, noting substantial overlaps in chip design, lithography, and etching requirements.
