Quantum Computing Inc. Jumps 15.9% on Nvidia Halo and Dirac-3 Go-Live
Quantum Computing Inc. rallied 15.9% as its Dirac-3 entropy machine went commercial and Nvidia's Ising Model announcement pulled the whole quantum sector higher.
Quantum Computing Inc. Jumps 15.9% on Nvidia Halo and Dirac-3 Go-Live
NEW YORK, April 16 —
Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT) jumped 15.9% intraday after flipping on its Dirac-3 entropy machine on a commercial quantum network. Nvidia announced its Ising Model solution the same day.
- QUBT +15.9% intraday, dragging IONQ, QBTS and RGTI higher on the Nvidia software news
- TTM revenue of $682,000 against a share price of $9.40 and a forward P/E of -31.3x
- Next QUBT earnings release is the first real chance to see booked revenue from the quantum network deployment
What Actually Happened
Two headlines hit the tape at once, and traders collapsed them into a single trade. Nvidia shipped software tools for Ising Model problems — the combinatorial optimization workload that quantum annealers and photonic entropy machines are built to run. That lifts the whole sector. Separately, QUBT turned on Dirac-3, making its entropy quantum computer commercially accessible through a third-party quantum network. Two stories, one price move. A director also picked up 22,123 RSUs. That is compensation, not a buy signal, but momentum traders watch the filings.
The Catch
Trailing twelve-month revenue is $682,000. Not million. Thousand. The forward P/E is -31.3x because the denominator is a loss. At $9.40 a share, QUBT is a sentiment vehicle with a ticker attached. Every rally on quantum news has been followed by a selloff when the narrative cools. The last time the group ran on Nvidia quantum commentary, QUBT round-tripped within a week.
Bottom Line
This is a momentum re-rating, not a fundamental one. Investors who want quantum exposure can buy IONQ or QBTS, both better capitalized and both up on the same Nvidia news without needing a product launch to ride along. One number changes the story: the next earnings print. If Dirac-3 on a commercial network books real revenue, QUBT becomes an actual revenue story instead of sector beta. Until then, it is a trade, not an investment.

QUBT's Dirac-3 entropy quantum computing machine went live on a commercial quantum network, coinciding with Nvidia's Ising Model/quantum system solution launch that lifted the entire quantum computing sector.
