IBM Stock Soars on Quantum Breakthrough and AI Revival – Key Updates (Sept 25, 2025)

Quantum Surprise: IBM Runs 10× Faster Error‐Correction on AMD Chips, Stocks Skyrocket

IBM and AMD’s Quantum Computing Push IBM and AMD are aggressively combining their strengths in quantum and classical computing. In August 2025 they announced a “quantum‑centric supercomputing” alliance, aiming to blend IBM’s quantum chips with AMD’s CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs amd.com amd.com. As IBM CEO Arvind Krishna put it, “Quantum computing will simulate the natural world and represent information in an entirely new way… [working] together… we will build a powerful hybrid model that pushes past the limits of traditional computing.” amd.com AMD’s CEO Lisa Su echoed this vision: by converging high‑performance and quantum computing, “we see tremendous opportunities to

Quantum Stocks Rip Higher: IonQ Up 700% – Bubble or Breakthrough?

IonQ’s Quantum Boom: 700% Stock Surge on Breakthrough Feats & $2B Mega-Funding

Stock Performance & Recent Moves IonQ’s stock has been extremely volatile in recent days. After skyrocketing to a 52-week high near $82 in mid-October ts2.tech, shares pulled back to the mid-$60s and have since settled around $55–$60. On October 22, IONQ closed at $55.45 finviz.com, about 23% below its recent peak. Even so, the stock remains up roughly 700% year-to-date ts2.tech, making it one of the biggest gainers of 2025. Trading volumes are heavy (tens of millions of shares daily) and daily swings of 5–10% are common ts2.tech finviz.com. This roller-coaster pattern reflects euphoria and caution: IonQ is now valued

Quantum Tunneling Goes Big: The Tiny Circuit Experiment That Won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics

Quantum Tunneling Goes Big: The Tiny Circuit Experiment That Won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics

Quantum Tunneling, Explained At the heart of this Nobel-winning discovery is a phenomenon straight out of quantum theory: quantum tunneling. In classical physics, if you throw a ball at a solid wall, it will always bounce back – it doesn’t have enough energy to break through. By analogy, an electron trapped in a low-energy state cannot classically overcome a higher-energy barrier. But quantum mechanics allows for a spooky exception: the particle can sometimes “tunnel” through the barrier and appear on the other side, as if by ghostly permission of probability nobelprize.org nobelprize.org. This is a well-known microscopic effect – it

Quantum Leap: D-Wave (QBTS) Stock Skyrockets 2000% Amid Fed Rate Cuts and AI-Fueled Quantum Breakthroughs

Quantum Gold Rush: D-Wave (QBTS) Skyrockets on Breakthroughs as Quantum Computing Frenzy Heats Up

D-Wave’s Meteoric Rise in Early October 2025 D-Wave Quantum’s stock chart in the first week of October 2025 looked like something out of a sci-fi blockbuster – shooting upward to record levels. On Friday, October 3, shares hit an intraday high of $33.28 before closing at $32.70 insidermonkey.com. Just two days earlier, on Oct 1, QBTS had been trading in the mid-$20s; by Oct 3 it was up roughly 30% for the week and nearly +300% year-to-date ts2.tech. To put the trajectory in perspective, one year ago the stock was barely $1 – it has since multiplied over 30-fold fastcompany.com.

Life on Mars? Saturn’s Surprise and More – The Biggest Science Breakthroughs (Sept 21–22, 2025)

Life on Mars? Saturn’s Surprise and More – The Biggest Science Breakthroughs (Sept 21–22, 2025)

Key Facts: Astronomy & Space Webb Hints at Atmosphere on an Earth-Like Exoplanet: Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope announced intriguing results from the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system. JWST observed the Earth-sized exoplanet TRAPPIST-1e (about 41 light-years away) as it passed in front of its star, and the data “hints that Trappist-1e may have an atmosphere” scitechdaily.com. This planet lies in the star’s temperate habitable zone, where liquid water could exist. If further Webb observations confirm an atmosphere, it would mark the first-ever detection of an atmosphere on a rocky world in a star’s habitable zone scitechdaily.com – a major

Blockbuster Breakthroughs, Setbacks & Surges: Biotech and Health News Roundup (Aug 11–12, 2025)

Blockbuster Breakthroughs, Setbacks & Surges: Biotech and Health News Roundup (Aug 11–12, 2025)

IO Biotech’s Phase 3 melanoma vaccine Cylembia added to Merck’s Keytruda narrowly missed statistical significance, with median progression-free survival of 19.4 months versus 11 months for Keytruda alone. Fosun Pharma’s deal with Expedition Therapeutics grants rights outside Greater China to XH-S004, a first-in-class oral DPP-1 inhibitor for chronic respiratory diseases, in a pact potentially worth up to $645 million including $120 million upfront and up to $525 million in milestones. NextRNA Therapeutics announced on August 11 it is winding down operations after cash constraints, leaving about 27 employees. FDA approved ketamine (brand name KETARx) from PharmaTher Holdings for surgical anesthesia

Quantum Computing’s Explosive 48 Hours – Breakthroughs, Big Bets & Bold Moves (Aug 4–5, 2025)

Quantum Computing’s Explosive 48 Hours – Breakthroughs, Big Bets & Bold Moves (Aug 4–5, 2025)

Fujitsu announced R&D on a superconducting quantum computer with over 10,000 physical qubits, targeting completion in fiscal 2030, using its STAR fault-tolerant architecture to reach 250 logical qubits by 2030 and 1,000 logical qubits by 2035 as part of a Japan-backed industrialization effort. IonQ and Oak Ridge National Laboratory demonstrated a quantum-enhanced power-grid optimization using IonQ’s 36-qubit Forte system to schedule 26 generators over 24 periods, as part of the DOE GRID-Q program. Rigetti Computing announced 99.5% median two-qubit gate fidelity on its 36-qubit modular processor (four 9-qubit chiplets), plans to launch the system on August 15 and to scale

Space Science in July 2025: Breakthroughs, Setbacks, and the Expanding Frontier / Updated: 2025, July 4th, 00:00 CET

Astronomers confirmed 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1) as the third confirmed interstellar object to visit our solar system, about 20 km wide, detected by NASA’s ATLAS survey, and it will pass inside Mars’ orbit in October 2025 at a minimum distance of 1.6 AU. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope directly imaged exoplanet TWA 7 b, a Saturn-mass world 34 light-years away, making it the lightest planet ever directly imaged and potentially habitable. MethaneSAT, an $88 million methane-emissions satellite backed by Jeff Bezos, Google, and the Environmental Defense Fund, launched in March 2024 and lost contact after just over a year, deemed unlikely
