With the “Willow” quantum processor, Alphabet, the Google parent company is apparently back in the lead.

The few listed shares from the sector took off after the announcement of the possibilities with “Willow,” and ZenaTech—an AI drone manufacturer—is also active in this sector.

Five years ago, Alphabet made its mark in quantum computing with the Sycamore chip. Now the Google Quantum AI research team has presented its next-generation quantum processor in the renowned journal Nature. Its name is “Willow” and it is equipped with 105 superconducting qubits. The new processor makes it possible for the first time to correct effective calculation errors. That sounds boring, but it is essential for a breakthrough in quantum computing. Due to the unstable nature of qubits, quantum computers are still very error-prone. Calculation results are noisy if several calculation steps are carried out in succession. They are then unusable. The aim of quantum error correction is to detect these errors and correct them during the calculation process. On the other hand, the speed is impressive: the chip is said to have solved a task in five minutes that would take the best supercomputer 10 quadrillion (1025) years.

Quantum Shares Soar

After this announcement was made public, Alphabet shares were not the only ones to reach a new all-time high. The few listed companies in the quantum computer sector also recorded strong price gains, in some cases more than doubling within a few days. ZenaTech is an as yet unknown company on the Nasdaq that also uses quantum computing. The manufacturer of high-tech drones not only relies on the use of artificial intelligence, but also is working on the inclusion of quantum computing. One example is the company's most recent acquisition. ZenaTech has signed a letter of intent to acquire a two land surveying companies added to their completed aquisition. The acquired company, based in the western US, will use drones for land surveying and large area monitoring for wildfire detection and firefighting applications on Native American reservations. Quantum computing will also be added to the AI drones' capabilities to process large data sets. Together with the previously announced anchor acquisitions in the southeastern and southern US, this third acquisition will form the basis for ZenaTech's drone operations in the western US.

Swarms of Drones 

In addition, ZenaDrone, the subsidiary of ZenaTech, has now moved to a production facility in Phoenix to produce drones for the U.S. Department of Defense and NATO. The facility will produce ZenaDrone 1000 multifunctional autonomous AI drones for the US military, which must conform to strict specifications - a requirement that includes stringent cybersecurity and country of origin specifications. Research and development work at this facility also includes quantum computing, which is part of the company's previously announced Sky Traffic project. The aim is to develop swarms of drones for use in traffic management, border control and military applications for external security.

More About ZenaTech

ZenaTech shares have been traded on the Nasdaq since the beginning of October and have already experienced a rollercoaster ride. However, with a market capitalization of around EUR 123 million, the company is still a small cap on the technology exchange. For risk-conscious investors, the ZenaTech share is certainly an opportunity to participate in developments in the fields of drones, AI and quantum computing.
