In early trading on the 17th, quantum computer-related stocks are plunging. They were traded at the "upper limit (the daily price ceiling)" the previous day on expectations for commercialization of quantum computers after Nvidia unveiled an artificial intelligence (AI) model, but they are giving back gains today.
As of 9:24 a.m. on the day, Dream Security is being transacted at 2,795 won, down 750 won (21.16%) from the previous transaction day.
At the same time, Raonsecure (18.17%), AXGATE (12.33%), and Photon (19.54%) are also plunging one after another.
Earlier, Nvidia on the 14th unveiled an AI model "Ising" that improves the quantum error correction problem. The technology is said to increase error correction speed by up to 2.5 times and accuracy by three times.
Until now, the high error rate in quantum computing had been cited as the biggest obstacle to commercialization, but this announcement fueled expectations that commercialization could be moved up. As investor sentiment was stoked, domestic quantum computer stocks closed at the upper limit (the daily price ceiling) the previous day.
However, as the burden from the short-term surge grew, it is interpreted that profit-taking supply emerged today.
