As of 10:33 p.m. on the 8th Korean time, quantum computing-related stocks are showing mixed performance in early trading on the U.S. stock market. While gains and losses are diverging by stock with a clear differentiation trend, Qrux Quantum is drawing attention with a sharp decline.

Among the gainers, D-Wave Quantum rose 0.42% and Rigetti Computing climbed 1.02%, showing a relatively steady trend. Inflection (0.60%) and Quantum Computing (0.23%) also joined the upward trend. Meanwhile, the representative stock IonQ fell 0.04%, remaining essentially flat.
